i wish my skins will work

There's quite a few in the making, once WLM is out we'll see more getting released.

That just means we're closer to MSG Plus! Live! :D Can't wait

Anyone wondering what our beta test "prize" is? :s

It's good, trust me :yes:

Mind explaining how Yahoo! users will reply to the WLM users?

;)

The logic in people's messages here is exonerating. :p

You can, in the contact list you can click the green double sided arrows and choose show details.

But the display picture is huge! It's not how it use to be in 7.5, I know many who hate this in the current build of wlm8. I hope this changes but I doubt it.

Also about the Yahoo being implemented into MSN, it's not likely to be in 8.0 if its going to be released next week, more like 8.1/8.5 which ever route they take on that. IF it does get released with Yahoo next week the developers won't be sleeping till then.. lol

There's a lot of issues with Yahoo implemented into MSN right now apprently. Some issues are, people are on msn and on away but appear online to yahoo messenger users AND another one is able to exchange text messages only, no files (so no Sharing Folders either), no Winks, no audio/video, etc. This is mentioned on mess.be

I just tried WLM8 in Vista... now I see what you meant by that. That's a feature I liked in 7.5 (not considering half the time I'd have to manually click on everyone's contact card to force the DPs to load).

Stuff like this makes me kinda wonder whom the Messenger team really listens to. Which smart ass came up with the idea of winks and paid packs anyway?

That's good news :D . But it still limited to text messages as there are no audio/video capabilities between WLM and Yahoo! Messenger :( . Oh well, on to the next version :cool: .

Actually, I'm fine without Messenger Plus! however I hope Apatch will be out as soon as possible, I hate those stooooopid ads on the contact window. Talk about bloat-ware.

Err because I am too use to the Tabbed Conversation that comes with MSNplus .. that's why :yes:

It won't, I submitted it as a bug and it was closed as by design sadly.

This date isn't accurate.

Shh, everyone's eye is off the ball :yes:

Oh yeah. I forgot about that. They asked us to update our shipping address.

The prize was the winks...I dont think its anything else...

My guess is a USB phone to use with the pc2phone feature. Only a guess though.

haha....Oh god thanks for the laugh...

I think people abused too much with the Logitech webcam thing and now we're only getting winks and crap.

    • Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.2

      By Copernic · Posted

      Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.2 by Razvan Serea Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (MPC-HC) is a free and open-source video and audio player for Windows. MPC-HC is based on the original Guliverkli project (which is no longer maintained) and contains many additional features and bug fixes. As the continuation of the original Media Player Classic, MPC-HC isn’t flashy but it works with nearly any media format. MPC-HC uses DXVA technology to pass decoding operations to your modern video card, enhancing your viewing experience. And MPC-HC supports both physical and software DVDs with menus, chapter navigation, and subtitles. Overview of features A lot of people seem to be unaware of some of the awesome features that have been added to MPC-HC in the past years. Here is a list of useful options and features that everyone should know about: Dark interface Menu > View > Dark Theme When using dark theme it is also possible to change the height of the seekbar and size of the toolbar buttons. Options > Advanced Video preview on the seekbar Options > Tweaks > Show preview on seek bar Adjust playback speed Menu > Play > Playback rate The buttons in the player that control playback rate take a 2x step by default. This can be customized to smaller values (like 10%): Options > Playback > Speed step Adjusting playback speed works best with the internal audio renderer. This also has automatic pitch correction. Options > Playback > Output > Audio Renderer MPC-HC can remember playback position, so you can resume from that point later Options > Player > History You can quickly seek through a video with Ctrl + Mouse Scrollwheel. You can jump to next/previous file in a folder by pressing PageUp/PageDown. You can perform automatic actions at end of file. For example to go to next file or close player. Options > Playback > After Playback (permanent setting) Menu > Play > After Playback (for current file only) A-B repeat - You can loop a segment of a video. Press [ and ] to set start and stop markers. You can rotate/flip/mirror/stretch/zoom the video Menu > View > Pan&Scan This is also easily done with hotkeys (see below). There are lots of keyboard hotkeys and mouse actions to control the player. They can be customized as well. Options > Player > Keys Tip: there is a search box above the table. You can stream videos directly from Youtube and many other video websites You can stream videos directly from Youtube and many other video websites Put yt-dlp.exe or youtube-dl.exe in the MPC-HC installation folder. Then you can open website URLs in the player: Menu > File > Open File/URL You can even download those videos: Menu > File > Save a copy Tip: to be able to download in best quality with yt-dlp/youtube-dl, it is recommended to also put ffmpeg.exe in the MPC-HC folder. Several YDL configuration options are found here: Options > Advanced This includes an option to specify the location of the .exe in case you don't want to put it in MPC-HC folder. Play HDR video This requires using madVR or MPC Video Renderer. After installation these renderers can be selected here: Options > Playback > Output Ability to search for and download subtitles, either automatically or manually (press D): Options > Subtitles > Misc Besides all these (new) features, there have also been many bugfixes and internal improvements in the player in the past years that give better performance and stability. It also has updated internal codecs. Support was added for CUE sheets, WebVTT subtitles, etc. Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.2 changelog: Updated LAV Filters to version 0.81-23-g6fadb Updated MPC Video Renderer to version 0.10.2.2540 Updated MediaInfo DLL to version 26.05 Updated MPC Audio Renderer Several crash fixes, bug fixes and small improvements.

      No problems here using the new Outlook. In our company we started to default installing to users on new computers or when we're reimaging. But, if the user needs/ask for the classic one, we install it. Low reject rate at this point.

      Yeah it's my only home/business computer. The Surface Pen magnetic Storage is on the left side, but it doesn't charge the Pen. I do the charging once every 6+ months by interchanging between 2 rechargeable AAAA batteries and charging the other via a USB A battery charger.
