How can I delete this bar in message window?

Thanks for helping to slove this problem.

That's weird. Try resizing the chat window a few times and also try hiding the title bar a few times (by clicking on the little button with the arrows on the top left corner of the chat window).

This could be caused by the new Msg Plus! Beta if you're not using MSN 7 beta i suggest you uninstall it and go back to using plus! 3.25.106.

It only happens in MSN7: I have MSN6.2 and MSN7 running side-by-side at the moment, and that white bar only appears in MSN7.

I figured out how to fix it..

I installed Messenger Plus! 3.40b, then the latest MSN Messenger 7.0 Beta and then ran the Mess Patch for MSN Messenger Beta. I had the same problem, that white bar at the bottom.

Then to fix it I ran the Mess Patch again (make sure you have all the options ticked), restarted Messenger and the white bar was gone.

The solution has been posted in mess forum.

It can be solved by this patch.

The Mestaline patch doesnt work. Tried it. I get a message saying "Cant not open a coversation window" with any of my contacts.

No, I have XP just like everyone else. It's not me or my computer, other people are having a problem getting the patch to work, this guy over in Mess.be forums had the same problem as me. But I did what Jaguar, installed the Patch to removes the "Beta" word etc. and it fixed it.

That little box or whatever you want to call it will be used to deliver information [Or maybe ads] to MSN Messenger Users. It'll sort of be like a news/stock ticker.

That's uncomfirmed until Microsoft publicly announce it, as such don't believe anything until it's officially announced, I don't want another "animated display picture" rumour situation to arise.

I'm not too sure whether or not information posted in a private newsgroup is considered public information. Now I'm new to the Beta NG's so please forgive me if I'm wrong, but..isn't there an NDA that I think you just violated?

Ok, well your not suppose to be talking about stuff that happens in the NG, however though, you easily go to Mess.Be and read the same thing. Kinda of a double stanard if what i said was a breach.  They post info and leaks of the MSN Messenger all the time. In essence, you could just say I was just confirming that it isn't a rumour.

Yup, I work for MS. Naw, I'm on the test team and they were briefly talking about it in the NG.  As I said before, that little box will be for ads or either delivering news, information or something of that sor

A patch to get rid of it has already been released, but the person who  made it was also on the test team and was kicked off it.

Uh, I fixed it a long time a go with Daniel's patch, don't need Mestaline's non-working patch. Cos it's fixed. Been fixed!

Ryan,
    What was said in the NG was "Content". NOT Ads.  Content could include Ads, but it could also be the part where it says "So and So is typing" or even how long you've been in contact with them.  Until someone from Microsoft actually says "This will be for Ads", no one knows.

    Also, knowing that someone in the testing group was removed for creating a crack to fix this, do you want to risk violating the NDA by posting anything about the beta?

     Finally, for everyone else.  Since the beta was 'leaked' out, you're technically discussing "Illegal Warez" on here.    If the OP is a beta tester, then they should have consulted the proper forum for posting the question.. If they're not, then they are discussing an illegally obtained software, which is violating Patchou's TOU.


>>>Edited shortly after the Original Post.....
You may not post illegal things or information about them. This includes, but is not limited to:

    * warez, or other illegally distributed software.
    * hacking tools.
    * pornography or nudity not safe for children.

(Taken from The Terms of Use that you agreed to, when signing up for your account).

How does this pertain to this post you ask?  Because the people who created the plugins had to 'hack' the program (reverse engineer, decompile, or other means) in order to get their plugins to work.  Also, the version of Messenger is illegally obtained, in that someone who wasn't supposed to give it out to the public did so.



ASG

PS Evil Seph is correct.  Just because other people are violating the NDA, doesn't make it right for you (or me, for that matter) to violate it too.

I could go further by posting a quote from the NDA, but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to do so. I believe most, if not all, NDA's disallow you from spreading information that has surfaced as a result of someone else violating their NDA (correct me if I'm wrong). About Mess.be posting about there being content in the blank bar at the bottom of the conversation window, they could have gotten the information from VorteX who has been removed for infringing the Beta's ToS and NDA or from another tester who is a member of Mess.be, either way it's a violation of NDA on someones part and I don't beleive we should put ourselves at risk by jumping on the bandwagon.

The news about animated display pictures was confirmed by "trusted sources" and look what happened then? Microsoft, themselves, never announced a new feature that allowed animated display pictures, but because it was confirmed by "trusted sources" people believed it and the rumour grew. It practically became "fact" amongst the community and people were angry at why it wasn't included in later MSN Messenger builds and even MSN Messenger 6.x. I've had to deal with the complaints regarding this for a while now and I for one don't want another "animated display picture" epidemic to surface regarding the blank bar at the bottom of the conversation window.

I'm only taking preventitive measures to stop it from happening again. I'm not saying it won't be used for ads or it will be, I'm merely saying don't believe anything anyone *but* a Microsoft representative says. If it turns out to be ads, that's fine. If not, that's fine too and at least we've avoided a "animated display picture" epidemic from occuring again. (I use epidemic because my mind is blank right now and I can't think of a better word ).

Direct note to Ryan: No offence intended or anything, I'm just really careful about recreating a "animated display picture" epidemic. As I'm part of the team of helpers in the Messenger Plus! IRC channel, and it makes our duty a living hell when people come in there to moan about the "promised" feature that wasn't added or wondering how to enable the "hidden" feature that allows for animated display pictures.
