hey anybody notice we can invite people now i had a pop up saying i can now invite people so i have a couple of invites

u start out with 2 invites so i have 1 remaining willing to give it out so the 1st non beta tester requests a invite gets it

Yey! Invites are here!!! :woot:

But for some reason my invite page is in Russian :wacko: even though there's no mention of Russian on my system, except for Default language for Non-Unicode programs... weird... But whatever.... as long as it works :p

Please, if you've got some invites left, that will be nice to offer one to me

Thx

For all that want invites, please use the official thread. Do not request invites here.

https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=408819

I got an email saying I have invites, but I can't access them, I also have applied to be a beta tester, but have recieved nothing about it.

Yeah that happened to me aswell...

Could anyone explain whats going on with this?

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...

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.

    • "No. The "New Outlook for Windows" does not support non-cloud mailboxes (such as on-premises Exchange servers). Furthermore, because the New Outlook effectively functions as a web-based client, it requires all connected accounts—even standard IMAP or POP accounts—to route and cache data through Microsoft's cloud servers. You can verify the accepted account setups using the Microsoft Supported Account Types Guide." Built to fail "New" Outlook is basically just webmail in a window wrapper and it's usefulness reflects that.
