^ Cool. Actually don't worry about the Pav? thing on my name though - I'll remove it from my sig soon as the ? character causes problems with some us:)s :)

EDIT: I'm going to edit my mirrors (as they seem to be a different file to yours, Tim - I'll download your mirror and then upload t:)t :)

As an official Beta Tester, I'm able to release some information on what is going on with the builds (to keep you guys all excited).

Changes in the latest build:

Conversation window works.

You name is now displayed at top (instead of Nexus Messenger) when logged in.

Resizable windows

Change of status (not sure if this was in earlier versions, I never checked)

Bugs Fixed

Space in name produced %20 in chat window

Multiple People in a covesation now works

Bugs Still Present

"Conversation Tab" does nothing

Resize a window too small and it will crash Nexus (Lee will be working on this tomorrow morning)

Finally something annoying which I found which I will talk to Lee about tomorrow is the fact that as soon as someone opens a window with you, it opens one in Nexus. I'm sure this is one of those "features" and not a bug.

As for the latest internal build, it is at Nexus2E1203. I'm currently not allowed releasing it to the public (due to some of the bugs mentioned and some I have yet to discover) but I can show a screenshot of it.

Note: Also I may add that I do all my testing with a gmail.com account so don't think only hotmail.com accounts work. They ALL do.

lol Colin-uk. Sorry I don't think I'm allowed leaking THIS build. When I talked to Lee to see if I could show it to you guys he told me "Well shouldn't I take out the 'Not for Public Use' message?". So I think he's going to work on a couple more things and we will have a new release soon.

As for the buttons on the top, do you mean stuff like "Games" and "Block?". Probably not ALL the one from MSN but I'm sure block and font changing will be in soon. (Note: I'm not actually designing this, just a beta tester. So I can't be 100% accurate with this information).

Also for users DP pic, I'm sure Lee will work on it when he gets to it. Right now he just wants to make it work.

Also, may I ask a favour TimRogers? I was wondering if I could get permission to use the butterfly you have on your mirror page for the official development page? I'm not that good at photoshop so I don't think I'll be able to make one as good as the one you designed.

Lee69: There are a couple of public builds out there but none that support chat. I'm sure a build which supports chat will be out in the next day or two. So don't worry.

GHL: Are you applying your look to Nexus? Or are you just starting from scratch?

Can the leader of this project please PM me for my MSN Messenger address, i'd like to discuss my participation in this project further.

I might not continue work on Nexus though, I'd prefer a fresh new startup with both mac and windows coders, and to keep it organised.

Convo build is here, I have updated my mirror! The convos are working great, but someone opened a convo with me an I got a runtime error and the graphics went mad! Got a new signature too, if you are proud to be a mirrorer, there will be a signature put on the site for mirrorers to download and display!

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      Useful to know, thanks!
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.

      I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By Nick H. · Posted

      <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
