| 231028 | 2004-04-27 00:01:00 | So I checked out some of the alternatives and decided to just update messenger after all. (Trillion does not support chat via headset and various reasons for the others). So I go to use it again today and it prompts me to download yet another version. I'm guessing the version I downloaded last week never worked for some reason. Guess I better have another look at the alternatives cos I'm fed up with msn messenger yet again! | Danger (287) | ||
| 231029 | 2004-04-27 00:08:00 | I haven't had the message to update messenger (windows or msn) for quite some time. I looked and can't find an option not to check for updated versions, my current versions are 6.1.0211 msn messenger or 4.7.2009 windows messenger. | Jester (13) | ||
| 231030 | 2004-04-27 00:16:00 | We've just had to update all MSN Versions in our shop, otherwise it wont let our customers sign in :-( So what's so grand about MSN 6.2? There's a guy with a big aff' on the website (messenger.xtramsn.co.nz), and they try and infect the work PC's with more poison, but I see little differences otherwise?! Man Im glad I use aMsn today... ;-) Chill. |

| 231032 | 2004-04-27 00:32:00 | Just uninstalled it. Its gone!!! Sick of the damn thing! Will look for an alternative when I have time. | Danger (287) | ||
| 231033 | 2004-04-27 04:00:00 | Install WinXP SP2, it'll let you stop it from loading at startup.. Then simply disable it in Outlook Express (Again, get a better email client). If you're not happy with MSN, then try aMsn: http://amsn.sf.net Origionally a Linux app, its been ported to Windows. Dont forget to grab imagemagick so you can have the User pic's too :-) Chill. |

| 231034 | 2004-04-27 05:05:00 | So far this is what Ive noticed is different: Contacts with a Mobile Device now show as Yellow When writing a message, if you type an emote hotkey such as ( H ), it automatically changes it to the graphic rather than waiting for you to send the message Anybody noticed anything else? |

| 231035 | 2004-04-27 09:28:00 | Apparently it doesnt have a character limit (i only know of the linux app) | Growly (6) | ||
| 231036 | 2004-04-27 09:51:00 | > If you're not happy with MSN, then try aMsn: > http://amsn.sf.net Do you know if it's possible using aMSN for Windows to specify the connecting port? By default MSN uses 1863, apparently it used to be able to fail-over to 80 however I am yet to be able to get it out of the rather draconian firewall at work. |

| 231037 | 2004-04-27 10:00:00 | I think microsoft are getting too cocky... expecting everyone to download their huge exe just so we can use use their crappy commercialised messenger... expecting everyone to be on broadband... I say suck my d**k MS... I'm going to aMSN. And as soon as I get the backing, I will start a better network than MSN, start a better OS than Windows so everyopne can be at peace and get the most out of their pooters... Your days are numbered microsoft.... |
