I have been looking forward to live messenger 9, just installed, which took forever lol.

I love the new feature where you can personalize the image on the main contacts window, you can choose from a selection os pre installed ones or use your own i think.

my contacts window is using a bamboo theme, its very green lol.

Good riddens to the shared folder. Never liked that and from seeing threads about how to remove it other people feel the same. Microsoft has Foldershare which is free to try. Check that out.

I like the installer. It actually seems like it's doing something with it's time unlike the old one.

For the fun I selected to install everything but the toolbar and Family Safety

And

Gee, that install takes ages!

96% now..

It was quick for me.

argh.... :(

so many problems with this version of windows live messenger.......

where did my sharing folders go?

and how come my custom emoticons won't display at my side after i entered the keyboard shortcut?

is there anything wrong?

HELP, please... :wacko:

Sharing Folders have been removed because they didn't work very well. There are better ways now integrated into the new Windows Live Messenger 2009 beta to share items such as photos.

I get the problem with the custom emoticons & it is annoying me. I don't know how I can send an emoticon without selecting it in the list (but that takes time to do). Can anybody tell us why the keyboard shortcuts for sending custom emoticons are not working?

I love the new WLM beta, especially the little things such as the animation which occurs on the display picture frame when you change your status & it changes colour.

It's a pity Messenger Plus! doesn't work yet, otherwise I would switch right away.

I think the latest version of Live Messenger Plus! does support WLM 9... I read it somewhere on the site.

Not liking the green highlite :/

Me too... It looks cheap... :p

Animations are cool though...

One thing I REALLY hate with the new design is the way they organised the main chat window. Why is the drop down menu to the left of the display picture now? It's just taken away from space the conversation pane used to have and the space above and bellow the display pictures is completely clear anyway so why not keep it bellow the display image?

Better yet, why not have the chat area wrap into the parts between the two display pictures. With how I use messenger I would gain an extra 50% chat space which atm is just a big blank area on my screen (I like having display pics visible)

You could just hide the pictures... Move your mouse into the blank area between the images and you'll see the divider.

Does somebody else have the problem, that when you click the 'Open Inbox button' at the main screen it opens firefox and displays msn.com? It's the same when I click the pop-ups when I have a new e-mail..

I know it's because firefox is my default browser, because when I put IE as default, the problem is gone. Only I don't want IE as default :p Is there some solution to this?

Nope, opens in IE and takes me to the correct page too.

Same prob here too.

Strange :s

Did she just spill some coffee? She's not even looking at her notebook.

      I agree when are you going to read this (really poor BTW) article?
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      I disagree; they come off very "bitchy" and "whiny". Make a great product and combine that with a great price (free) and people will come over to your side. Or build it and they will come as they say. Constantly trying to get attention by complaining all the time, will turn people off to your product.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By +Eternal Tempest · Posted

      It use to be a nightmare, with LibreOffice supporting a newer draft ODF standard by default, and Microsoft Office supporting the older non-draft standard. Now that they both support the same version of ODF, they should be interoperable.
    • Brave Browser 1.91.171

      By Copernic · Posted

      Brave Browser 1.91.171 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package. Brave Browser 1.91.171 changelog: General Fixed Cardano not being disabled on upgrade to Brave Origin. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103. Origin Removed “Survey Panelist” setting from brave://settings/privacy. Fixed P3A and usage ping under brave://settings/privacy being displayed on first launch on Linux. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103.

    • Can't access the forum on mobile

      By RaidenX · Posted

      Hi. As the title suggests, I can't access the forum on my phone. I'm using Edge on Android and when I try to navigate to the forum I get a "we value your privacy" popup and none of the buttons are clickable. It effectively stonewalls me from reading any forum content.
