Hey guys, I was experimenting with MSN plus and the new build of WLM today and I found out that MSN plus (version 3.61.145 and lower) is compatible with WLM but there are certain requirements.

1. MSN Plus version 3.61 and lower will work with the 0562 build of WLM

2. Unfortunately you have to be a beta tester to download the new 0562 build

But after you install it, there are certain features that do not work on MSN plus. This includes:

Tabbed Contacts

Desktop Contacts

Custom Sounds

Version check

Pinging

Any text commands

Name color codes

Extension of Maximum word limit

Stuffplug

I will add more to this list

The rest of the features such as boss protection and msn lock are still working.

Unfortunately though, I guess this means the WLM dev. team have stopped working on a new engine, and are just re-using the old MSN Messenger engine.

well basically all that works is transperancy, boss protection and messenger lock and a few more options..

so basically all plus options to do with the main window and the whole application in general work probably, but any options in the conversation windows don't work at all..

[they probably updated the convo windows engine but used the old main window im guessing]

but yeh, i guess if you use stuffplug [and any other plugins] then any options made for the main window should work, but probably not for the convo windows..

I'm surprised to hear it partially work, if I were you I would use caution (and uninstall it if Messenger starts acting funny). For those of you who wonder about old/new engine, the oposite happened. This new build of Messenger uses many new techniques/files which actually completely broke my current alpha version of Plus! 4.

So rest assured that Messenger is evolving, and quite a lot (the new beta requires at least XP SP1 though).

Note: version 3.62 was modified to not even try to load in Messenger 8 to avoid problems.

      Just the price of doing business. The scamble to pull as much from the web as possible is happening, and it's happening before a case like this changes how or what is legal do to with AI in terms of data harvesting. But even then as we've seen with the likes of Google who ignore cookie requests and just accept the fact they'll get fined, it's built into their business price model now. AI is here, its not going away. Their reward if any from the court case would be best suited to trying to incorprate AI or licence their end points as authentic human verified content. The problem is, as we've seen these same news papers are using AI themselves.

    • This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of

      This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of by Hamid Ganji While companies like Apple and Samsung have been relatively conservative with their devices’ battery capacities in recent years, Chinese manufacturers have taken the competition to the next level by introducing significantly larger batteries. However, the latest report from China suggests that a local company may already be developing a smartphone with a whopping 14,000mAh battery. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claimed on Weibo that a smartphone maker is developing a device with a 14,000mAh battery. If true, it would be the largest battery ever used in a smartphone and could, in theory, provide up to a week of battery life on a single charge. The leaker did not reveal the name of the company behind the device, but there are some clues. This week, HONOR unveiled the X80 Pro Max in China with an 11,000mAh battery and 90W wired charging support. The company also launched the Honor Win in January, which packs a 10,000mAh battery. HONOR, a former subsidiary of Huawei, has a proven track record of developing smartphones with unusually large batteries. However, other Chinese brands, including Xiaomi, have also launched devices such as the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max with 7,500mAh batteries. Though Chinese users on Weibo also believe the company behind the new battery is HONOR. Interestingly, Digital Chat Station said the device with the 14,000mAh battery weighs around 220 grams, making it lighter than the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max (233 grams) and slightly heavier than the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (214 grams). The iPhone 17 Pro Max currently packs a 5,088mAh battery in eSIM-only versions, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra features a 5,000mAh battery. Neither device is expected to see a dramatic increase in battery capacity in its next-generation successor. So when it comes to battery comparison, Chinese brands are unbeaten. HONOR smartphones are currently available in the EU, but the Chinese brand has no official presence in the United States due to restrictions imposed by the U.S. government.
