Yeah that happened to me aswell...

Could anyone explain whats going on with this?

[Crazysah]

Finally people are getting invites! I hope I get one lol!

[Elliot B.]

I have renamed all my contacts. Are they stored locally (like how Messenger Plus! does it) or on their servers?

[Barisko]

HI,

I hope this is not forbidden to ask... if so, admin please remove this post.

(please note that I am NOT asking for any links/URLs for patches or hacks!)

What options do I have to use Windows Live Messenger without an invitation. I know that there is some kind of client server that you have to run, but I do not like it. You can not minimize it and it has some advertisement in it. It's just crap.

So, my question: are there more that one way's to use Windows Live Messenger without an invitation?

thanx

[mull]

Short Answer, No. (Not that I know of anyway...)

[cccjjj_mu]

hey :(

im doawnladed messenger 8.0 beta but my email not login on

[mull]

Obviously, and if you had cared to read posts about WLM, you would have known unless you are a specially, picked beta tester, you can't use it. Saying that, theres always the MSNP13 downgrader, but I'm not going into that.

@ Barisko

I have made my downgrader minus the ad's, if you want PM and I'll figure a way to get it you. (I still haven't worked out the minimize thingy yet)

Server side i think, also there is a bug where you can only rename them once! Sorted in the next build I hear. :shiftyninja:

[liamdaly]

i noticed a bug.. you can talk to people when appearing offline

[Storm]

hmm yes that would be offline messaging :p

[liamdaly]

i thought offline messaging is where you can message people who are offline not if you appear offline

[Slimy]

How would you talk to them if their computer is off? This offline messaging is sweet cuz you can talk to only select people when you don't want other people to bother you :D

[Delox]

Heh, this whole process is insane, and not very well organized for Microsoft.

I signed up for the BETA, but upon recieving my email invitation, the code is dead. So here I am with 5 tabs open, one to this forum, one to this thread, one to the invite thread, one to Mess.be's invite page, one on my email address, just incase, and one on connect, on the off chance the code was for some reason only temporarily dead.

Insanity.

Offline messaging refers to the fact you can send a message to someone who is offline, as in, doesn't have their computer on or connected to MSN. It stores the message server side and delivers it when the person signs on. Yahoo has been doing this for years.

Except for MSN, where offline messaging means you can send messages to contacts when your status is appear offline. I don't know why they don't have a feature like Yahoo's...
