Windows Live Messenger (9) 2009 (14.0.5027.908) released


Recommended Posts

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?

other than that I am impressed, yes I know its still in Beta

Hi!

Can you guys make Messenger Plus! Live work with this release (14.0.5027.908)? I download the latest one from their official site (www.msgpluslive.net), I install it, but nothing happens! There isn't any sign of the Plus! to be installed. Why not? Their webpage says that this version (v4.70.334) supports the latest WLM9 beta, but it doesn't! I use the english version, so it should work I belive.

Please help me if you can!

Thanks!

I think that can be better answered at Messenger Plus! forums. Simply go to the Messenger Plus! site and click help. You will see a link for their community forums.

Yes. Most retarded thing ever.

I have experienced the following:

"Some" BLOCKED USERS can make contact with you :o I was being harassed by some (well nevermind who)

Blocked contacts sometimes appear as unblocked (although in parentheses it says quite clearly they are indeed blocked)

While sending files, nothing appears. You usually fix it by closing and reopening the window. (other user must do the same)

When a friend closes the chat window, mine closes as well. I guess you could call it a feature xD

as well as some minor ones:

Personal Message will often duplicate the use of emoticons used in your message.

Email notification (toast) does not work.

Sign me out everwhere doesn't work.

Allow automatic signin doesn't connect.

Windows Live Today doesn't appear.

I reported them already, lets hope for results :)

I didn't get any of these problems, mine works fine. The only one I got which you suggested was when it appears that some blocked users are available even though it says blocked (& I still cannot speak to them). I have also had the custom emoticon bug, but none of the ones you suggested.

I imagine other people haven't had the same bugs as you as nothing else like that seems to have been reported.

I am using Windows Vista Home Premium by the way.

I've experienced only few bugs here and there.

No custom emotions (which is good... tell me if you want I'll give you one girl's email, chat few minutes with her and let me know if you understand what she was saying (she has emotion for everything)), no ability to hide contacts' pictures...

To me if feels much faster and more good-looking than the 8.5 version.

Are you a-patched ?

Any one else getting those "every hour" crashes in Vista 32?

I had to go back to 8.5.

I have had no crashes with it yet :)

I noticed that if you have IE as your default browser it corrects this.

Or if you use Windows Live Mail, the link opens up Windows Live Mail (& it is much quicker than it opening a browser window to go to the Windows Live Hotmail website. In fact, I don't see why more people don't check out Windows Live Mail - it is amazing for mail & RSS feeds.

Are you a-patched ?

I am using A-Patch on it & again I have had none of the problems that person described (Windows Vista Home Premium 32-Bit)

I didn't say a-patch would cause the problems :)

but it might do it, coudl be dependant on what you patch and the rest of the system. but if he has used a-patch then his bug reports are next to useless. unless he unpatches and has the same error.

my a-patched version hasn't had any issues either, well except when I had it set to polygami it would disconnect a lot, and then spawn another wlm sessio to reconnect :) not having much use for polygami I just disbled it.

Thanks for update, about the security, what have been updated...? What new and what bugs fixed?

Anyone, please share...

What security update?

I hope there is an update - the new Messenger has so many bugs, but I have to continue using it (now I've been teased into using these amazing new features :p). It would be good to hav an update to fix many of the major bugs.

    • Threads scales past half a billion users, brings deeper community and feed controls by Fiza Ali Meta has announced Threads crossing a major milestone of 500 million monthly active users. And, at the heart of this growth sits something simple: communities. From books to basketball, parenting to music, Threads says its rise has been powered by people clustering around shared interests and, in turn, giving the platform its identity. In response, the platform is expanding its Communities feature beyond beta and introducing a set of new tools designed to make participation easier and more engaging. A redesigned Communities Hub will now appear in the main navigation menu, allowing users to jump between groups without leaving their feed. Each community will also receive a distinct Community Icon, giving them clearer visual identity and making them easier to recognise across the platform. Then there’s Community Progress, which is a kind of live gauge showing how close a topic is to becoming a full-fledged community, alongside guidance on how users can contribute to its development. In addition, Meta is also expanding its Community Champions programme, recognising more users who actively contribute to community engagement. And then things go more local; Local Communities is already available in 100 countries, including North America, South America, Asia, and Europe but are now rolling out with native-language tags starting in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. The platform is also expanding Live Chats to more communities in the coming weeks, adding features such as co-hosting and the ability to quote moments directly into users’ feeds. Beyond communities, Meta is tightening the loop between users and their feeds. Earlier this year came "Dear Algo," a feature that lets people tell Threads what they want more or less of. Now it’s being paired with a new tool, "Your Algo." It allows people to adjust how frequently certain topics appear, with options lasting one, three, or seven days. Meta says these preferences remain private and can be managed alongside “Dear Algo” in a unified settings hub. The rollout begins in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand. Finally, the company says these changes are part of an ongoing effort to refine Threads based on user feedback and that further updates will continue as the platform evolves.
