Personally, I rather them fix the nickname bug. And the bugs people experence with display pictures.

Although, with the iTunes plugin, I don't like the purple skin it has.

Is the nickname bug not in the newest version 7.5 build 819? Would really appreciate if someone could tell me this. Thanks!

I know it's in the 8.0 beta. That's what I'm using. I want to know if it's in the 7.5 stable version? I'm guessing it's not by the way you worded that. Please confirm. Thanks!

I don't remeber that bug being there.

I like the 8.0 Beta a lot and even managed to skin it up a bit to my desire. I'm using the Codename: Opus DeviantArt skin so I wanted it to have a nice dark/forest green look and I got that :)

My biggest gripe with the overall program is that I cannot open Web Links in Firefox or IE. If a contact sends me a link and I click on it, the Messenger folder opens. It's extremely annoying and it's happening in all version I've had isntalled. Maybe something from my computer? Anyway, nice program but I want the web links to work :(

I also have a similar problem. If I click on the purple mail icon within messenger, my current browser that's already open with at least one tab (Opera 9.0 and Neowin) comes to the forefront and acts like it's going to load the yahoo mail page, but it never does. Now if I close the browser and then do it, it works the way it should by loading the mail page in a new tab. Anyone know how to fix this?

Mine is using 24, 976K. It's just sitting there with no chat windows open. I wonder how much 7.5 uses?

About 7.7 MB

That's pretty jumpy. I'm going to reinstall 8.0 and see again.

I didn't see any way to get rid of the plugins thing though.

Thanks for posting the direct link to 7.5! I'm trying to figure out which one I'm going to use. As far as I can tell there's at least 3 versions, right? The newest of course being the 8.0 beta (Build 506), then 7.5 (Build 819) That's a released, stable version? So if you don't want to use the beta, that's the one to use? There's probably no reason to mess with 7.0 then? Although I'm assuming it probably has the lowest memory usage. What's the newest 7.0 build? I have 7.02 (Build 120)

Mines only using 13MB.

Afterall it's still in beta. ;)

MY version 7.0 used about 35, and so did 7.5

I bet the reason why it uses so much memory and takes up so much space is becuase of the plug ins. They should have a option of having the plug ins enable or not.

Probably, but it shouldnt use an extra 20mb with no plugins loaded..

Can someone give me the link for 8.0.505 beta? Build 506 seems to have a bug. Whenever I'm listening to music on LAUNCHcast, a lot of the times it doesn't change my status to the song. It seems to happen when I'm invisible, and then I come back and try to listen to music. It always puts my status as available. I'll even go up and set it to the song that's playing, and then the next song changes it to available. I don't think 505 did this. Has anyone else experienced this?

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
