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

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)

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

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

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.

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

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...

    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.
