For anyone that is using the new WLM 9 Beta, When you click on the E-mail button (the big envelope).. does it load up www.msn.com home page or does it load up their inbox directly?

Sadly and annoyingly mine loads up www.msn.com even though it notifies me when there is mail :s

Anyone else have this problem? Also the default colour doesnt spread over IM Windows.. meaning you have to impliment the colors yourself, anyone else have that issue?

Ah yes now is thanks alot dhan, by setting IE7 to my default web browser, when i click on the big envelope for my inbox, it does actually display my inbox now!

With regards to the default colour, even when i select that on the IM window, the default colour always seems to think that it is light blue even though the small box next to the words "default colour" is not light blue at all. Any ideas anyone? I know there is a fix by applying the colour on every im window by yourself. but i was just wondering

There seems to be some sort of protection/smoke screen on the actual UI code so it's going to take longer than expected :pinch:

Damn. I've sometimes wondered if Microsoft would take any steps to protect WLM from being patched. I hope it's not difficult for you to get around ;)

I have allways seen the ads as annoying in windows live messenger, i feel it is wrong that microsoft would extend ads from the web to your desktop, it just feels to intrusive to your personal space.

Im loving this new messenger :)

Good luck with A-patch BTW ;)

It doesn't feel as nice for me... The default colour changing doesn't work, it only changes it for that window, not every other window or the toasts.

The interface is too spread out for my liking too... the convo windows have way too much space devoted to the DP bit, I don't maximise windows and the smallest box on the screen is the actual convo box if I show DPs.

Also, do custom smileys work for anyone else? I lost all mine in the upgrade and now they don't work in convos :(

Sharing folders back would be nice too :p

Not liking WLM. Somehow it just looks like a product designed by an amateur and bound together by duct tape. The Ad's also suck.

Still prefer my Yahoo! messenger for Windows Vista. Looks far better and fits the look and feel of Vista really well too.

I just did a system restore, to restore my WLM back to 8.5, but personally I prefer the WLM 9 to Yahoo! Messenger for Windows Vista. I thought that looked pretty awful, and I almost immediately reverted back to 8.1, even though 8.1 looks incredibly dated.

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      low latency mode is still bugged and causing bootup times slow to a crawl. To fix, you have to disable the feature with vivetool. Seems as though it's not rolled out to a lot of people yet since I've only been able to find only a handful of people that are having issues.

      I would recommend the Nothing 2a. The battery life is awesome, 2 or 3 days without going into battery power mode. The only thing that I've been looking into recently is that it doesn't "support" Graphene OS. I'm pretty sure there is a way, I just need to do some more looking.

      You'd have to show me an example of a listing that says Gen 1, usually i'd expect that to mean Snapdragon Gen 1 (a type of chipset, which the Pixels don't use). Pixel 7 - White - 128gb - Unlocked - 85%+ battery - Grade B+ - $159 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/398046617206 Pixel 7 - Obsidian - 128gb - Unlocked - 80%+ battery - Very Good - $157 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/355617734563 Both look to be sold by companies with good feedback, dealing with refurbished phones and state the phones are unlocked with a clean IMEI. Obviously I can't vouch for either company though, but the listings look good in my opinion.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By +mram · Posted

      Because Chrome is doing it. And no one said anyone had to update immediately. That's silly. They could update every day for all I care as long as it's fast, and the next time the browser restarts, you're good. And the basic point is not to tee it up for bigger updates. As it is right now, all the windows I had open reopen anyway except inprivate.

      Why? Does anybody actually want this? The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install, just so that there’s a integrated coupon manager feels like a waste of everyone’s time
