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?

      They themselves used AI slop to convert its C++ codebase to Rust. But I do agree with their concerns.

    • Microsoft resumes forced Copilot app installation on some Windows PCs

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft resumes forced Copilot app installation on some Windows PCs by Usama Jawad Late last year, Microsoft planned to begin the automatic installation of the Microsoft 365 Copilot app on certain Windows PCs. However, in March 2026, it disabled this process due to a technical issue and informed customers that it would let them know when it would resume. It seems like that was only a temporary respite, as the Redmond tech giant has started the forced installation of the app on eligible devices. In an update on its Message Center for IT admins, Microsoft has informed customers that it is resuming the automatic installation of the Microsoft 365 Copilot on commercial Windows PCs that have Microsoft 365 apps already installed. What this means is that if you have Microsoft Office apps like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and more installed on your Windows PC through a Microsoft 365 license, you'll likely see the Microsoft 365 Copilot app pop up in your Installed Apps section soon, too. Fortunately, IT admins do have some control over this rollout. If they choose to opt out, devices in their tenant won't automatically get the dreaded Copilot app. However, phased rollout via feature flags has already begun and is expected to be completed by the end of June: Feature Flag1: started Jun 4, expected to finish June 10 Feature Flag2: expected to start on June 11, expected to finish on June 17 MSGraph schema rollout: expected to start on June 18, expected to finish on June 24 Feature Flag3: expected to start on June 25, expected to complete by July 1st Microsoft hasn't detailed what the process is to toggle the feature flags in its Message Center, and its public support page does not seem to mention it yet either. The Redmond tech giant has encouraged IT admins to let users know beforehand so they aren't caught by surprise to see a new app seemingly installed without manual interaction or their consent. Users who already have the app installed or are based in the European Economic Area (EEA) are unaffected by this move, which Microsoft has understandably flagged as a "major change".
