I jus noticed another new feature.

I clicked the arrow to hide the display pic in a convo window before, now, hours later, program been closed n computer rebooted a couple times even, in a convo with an entirely diferant person, theyre still hidden.

Thats awesome, messenger actually remembers whether you hid them or not n applys it to all convo windows not just the one. Love it.

I just realised....

in this new version.. all though the logo in the top left hand corner is tacky and the old version.

if you press "Windows Live Call" button - there is the new logo.

Wow that's a huge and tacky logo. The MSN logo in version 7.5 is much smaller and smoother -- it actually looks nicer with it on the contact list window.

I agree, the 'new logo' looks stupid. The one on this leaked version looks fine as it is, it jus needs to be a bit sharper.

I think that the GMods should talk with the news posters ... :s :unsure:

Yeah I don't like this at all.. :no: :pinch:

Correct me if I'm wrong, becuase I just noticed this while browsing options.

If you go into options and then the Messages category... You'll notice the option "Show 'contact says:' before every message is unchecked. I assume that if you check it, it'll behave the way it usually does.

I think it's pretty spiffy so far... I do hope that they give you lots of options for customizing the way it looks and acts. It would be pretty cool if you could choose how the color scheme would look (faded, solid, etc). Overall I think it's going to be a pretty good deal.

This is the build of MSN 8.0 I have used/been using for some time now. It's a bit buggy but it works and I prefer the design of this to the screenshots of the later builds that I have seen.

i think the how it bundles all the msgs together should have a bit of a timer like all the msgs within a 20sec span will get bundled into one msg.. cause if they msg later it should make it a new msg... i liked the idea but a timer would be nice....

they need to make an option to place just "-"'s for a msg so it will look like this:

[My super-very-long nicknime without any sense...] says:

- Hello there

- Not answering?

- Hellooooooooo???

He says:

- Yes yes here i am already. BTW how are you?

This is a multi line msg. As you can see no "-"'s were added.

Just to include as an option in messenger

- It would be nice because it gives you better overview possibilities...

(please PM me correct spelling, i need to study my english a bit more...)

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.

      The "Classic" Outlook has done that for a few years as well. The option to even change that is really hidden away too... It really shouldn't be hard to respect user defaults. Sadly we are the product now, not Outlook. To change in the Classic Outlook: File > Options > Advanced > change "Open hyperlinks from Outlook in"
