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.

    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      By KD2004 · Posted

      For me it has everything feature wise that I want. But boy the app sucks big time. This and Teams. Ever since they made the transition to WebView it has been slow AF. I mostly use both apps in the browser now because of too much memory being used by these 2 apps. Hoping that native versions are being worked upon.
    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11 by Taras Buria The May 2026 Steam Hardware & Software Survey results are now available on the official Steam website, showing Windows 11's continuous growth among the gaming audience. As of early June 2026, nearly 70% of all participants reported having a Windows 11-powered PC, while Windows 10's market share is steadily declining. According to Valve, in May 2026, Windows 11 increased its market share to 69.76% (+2.02 points), while Windows 10 dropped to 23.99% (-1.64 points). 64-bit Windows 7 is still showing up in Valve's reports, and apparently, about 0.07% of all survey participants still use the 17-year-old operating system. Valve no longer updates its client for Windows 7, but it still can access the platform, so the Windows 7 holdouts can stay away from newer Windows versions. Overall, 93.85% of all users run Windows (+0.38 points), while Linux is second with 3.99% (-0.53 points). macOS is third with at 2.16% (+0.15 points). The most popular Linux flavor is Arch Linux (0.35%), while macOS 26.4.1 is currently the dominant macOS release. On the hardware side, the most popular picks include an Intel processor (53.94% against AMD's 46.06%) with six cores (28.02%, -0.6 points), 16 GB of memory (41.14%, -0.28 points), and an NVIDIA graphics card (72.42%, with AMD having 19.13% and Intel 8.05%). The most popular graphics card on Steam is the desktop NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (3.85%, -0.14 points), while the laptop RTX 4060 is second with 3.77%, and the RTX 3050 is third with 3.10%. The average amount of VRAM is 8GB (25.89%), and the dominant display resolution is the classic 1920x1080 pixels (51.89%, -0.32 points). As usual, you can find more details from the latest survey on the official website. The results for April 2026 are available here.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      This would be the ideal scenario for the context menus
    • Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system 2-pack is 27% off

      Personally, I think these things are way over rated and way over priced, even at this price. I recently had Frontier Fiber installed with 2 of these devices and although they worked, I switched back to my own router and AP setup and get way better consistency on wireless speed than with Eeros. Wired speed seems to be more consistent also. Will be returning Eeros soon. I had told Frontier I didn't want them to begin with.

      Yes, exactly what I have been thinking. Don't make the context menu simpler, make it smarter to learn what I actually use. And then, give me the ability to pin settings that I rarely use but need forget where they are.
