So far there's 3 classes of invites:

------------------------------------------------------------------

1st-gen

Tier 1 (14/12/2005)

------------------------------------------------------------------

2nd-gen

Tier 1 (18/12/2005)

Tier 2 (6/1/2006)

------------------------------------------------------------------

1st-gen Tier 1 invites are the "official Microsoft 1st gen invites", which give Connect access, and come with 2+3 (or 5, depending on when you accepted the invite) 2nd-gen Tier 1 invitations. In total, a 1st-gen Tier 1 invitee should have had 15 invites to give out.

2nd-gen Tier 1 invitees were people who were given invites by 1st-gen Tier 1 people between the 18th Dec and 6th Jan, and now all have 5 2nd-gen Tier 2 invites to give out. These people don't have Connect access, though. All unsent 2G T1 invitations as of 6/1/2006 become 2G T2 invitations.

2nd-gen Tier 2 invitees were people who were given invites on the 6/1/2006, and they have no invites to give out, so far. These people don't have Connect access either. If you were invited after the 6th of January 2006, you received a 2G T2 invitation.

Hey,

Just got in on the action here on Saturday, I noticed the problem with the contacts not appearing, and after a bit of digging around located:

C:\Documents and Settings\[networklogin]\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Messenger\[passport_email]\Contacts

You'll have two folders in here - one with your messenger login, eg [email protected] (that's mine), and the other will be [email protected].

Now my contact list came back by rebooting the machine, but that of course might not work for everyone!!

HTH,

Ad.

PS - couldn't find the proper thread for this, but got a few invites available, PM with ur email address and I'll send you an invite tonight (around 9pm GMT), first come first served, sorry.

Sorry, but I'm really not that impressed with the Beta at all!

To me it just seems a whole lot more bloated and hard to navigate than 7.5.

Granted, it has a couple of cool new features, but I'd be grateful if someone could point out to me what's supposed to be so good about it... :unsure:

Windows Live Mail is ok. However I have only tried it out for a short period of time becuase I have not receivbed an invite. I don't like the extra BETA News tab, that is annoying and I would rather not have that on my daily mail box.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Studio MDHR has been rather silent about its next major gaming project since the release of Cuphead back in 2017. However, that ended today during the Summer Game Fest presentation, with the studio revealing not one but two project announcements. First, the studio confirmed that it is currently in the middle of developing a brand-new Cuphead game, bringing back the iconic characters for another adventure. Just like the last game, this is slated to be a fully hand-animated endeavor. This also means there isn't a release date attached to it yet. “Craftsmanship is at the heart of everything we do here at Studio MDHR,” says co-founder Chad Moldenhauer. “When it came time to peel back the curtain and share a little bit about what we’ve been up to, we couldn’t imagine a more fun way to do so than with today’s Special Bulletin. The studio is working on this new Cuphead with help from Toronto’s Stop Motion Department and Continue Agency. At the same time, Studio MDHR also revealed that another part of the team has been working on a different Cuphead installment. Dubbed the Mighty Cuphead Adventure, this is taking a different art direction to the original. "In true Studio MDHR fashion, this game goes beyond just taking inspiration from the classics of the 1980s… it is actually built with technology of the era," the studio explained. "That's right: Mighty Cuphead Adventure is programmed in assembly language and designed with the exacting specifications of the Sega Master System home gaming console in mind." Aside from releasing on PC and modern consoles, Mighty Cuphead Adventure will even be playable on the 1985-released Sega Master System. A release date has not been announced just yet.

      Any decent ITSM will A) have a web form that allows a user to raise a ticket, if you're writing an email you can write a ticket. B) Monitor a mailbox and auto-generate tickets based on inbound mails for those users that really can't get their heads around the concept that if you have an issue you go to support.mycompany.com and fill in the box. From your description you're having users email the desk, and then having a human read each one and manually raise a ticket on behalf of the user.

      Fixing things? Have you ever tried linux? Everything works out of the box nowadays in most common hardware. This includes Wifi and Bluetooth. If anything, if they return back to windows is because they haven't found an equivalent program which often used on windows.
