I knew this as well....once I did the same thing you did, and searched Google for "MSN 8.5"

Easy mistake to make (Y)...I think...

Some aspects work, but type /viewlog in a conversation and does it bring up the Log Window or just send the command?

Also, is it actually logging conversations you are having on 8.5? If so lucky you..

Maikel, exactly.

Now let's wait for a Messpatch to be released :D

Mess Patch? Urgh. A-Patch is being worked on if you want a decent patch :)

Thanks to the Moderator who cleaned up the warez posts.

I still think it looks like ass. Of the three main players in the game, MSN continues to have the least amount of space in the IM window dedicated to the actual conversation (by default). Also, with them wanting to push vista, why is there no cool WPF being implemented?

Your face looks like ass :D

^ Joke.

I agree with you, alot of improvements could be made as I use Trillian for AIM and Yahoo! Messenger for Yahoo and they are both brilliant for features/layout compared to Messenger which sometimes looks abit squashed.

I used to upgrade messenger every chance I got, this was around the 6.0-7.5 days, but as soon as 8.0 came out (Windows Live Messenger), I completely lost interest. It's just got too bloated and filled with too many useless features that I'm never going to want or use (winks, packs, crap like that). The only good thing they've added recently has been off-line messaging.

I wish they'd just make it more efficient, add more USEFUL stuff instead of glossy, shiny extras I could live without =\

agree.

When I open up Messenger, I only see it in the System Tray, then I get a Windows Live Messenger has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution to the problem. So I installed this build to see if it helped, still get that. I don't know what could be wrong? :(

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      By +Edouard · Posted

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • what other retro software do yall use

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
