Leddy Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdzzzUK Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 just had a though, it could also be my computer messing up so in that case does any one know either 1. where the messenger contact list is stored (if its stored locally) 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 adaytay@hotmail.com (that's mine), and the other will be adaytay@hotmail.com.shadow. 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.

Mr_Edwardo Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucida Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
