My Messenger contact card doesn't show my blog background, the tiny star and all the blog info It's blank It shows my DP and my nickname What can I do?

It can happen if you don't have a @hotmail.com account (from I've seen).

Do you use a @hotmail.com account?

Yup ugly, i'm using a gmail account.

Well as many others on here I use gmail aswell and have no probs with the blog nor the contact card..

If I log in from a @hotmail.com account I can see my @yahoo.com.ar account's Contact Card.

But I see that the Contact Cards, in general seem to be bogus, as they don't seem to refresh the Space's layout.

Edit: I must pay attention when I post...

I see.... btw, i will try see it with my hotmail acc... Thanks for the help

I find that when I log into MSN, if the tabs on the left don't appear, 99% more than likely, the contact card won't work.

If, when I log in, i see all the tabs on the left (shows that i've completely logged in with my net passport and such), then I can see my contact card and other people's contact cards, with blog background, and updated info.

When you log into MSN, do you see all the tabs on the left? Because if not, then there is your problem, something is blocking MSN from logging you in completely with your passport, and so this affects your, and other people's contact cards from showing completely.

I have this problem myself, but i normally find that if you try logging in again, it signs you in "completely".

Let me know if this advice is of any help =)

Yeah, happens to me too. But I don't think that's the problem, since he can see his Contact Card. He means the MSN Space layout, he can't see it. He sees his Contact Card as any other contact's Contact Card (who don't have an MSN Space).

Ok ... I've logged with my hotmail acc and i can see the CC and the tiny star.



The problem is i can't see it from my own gmail acc.

Maybe the problem is my country? Because I'm from Venezuela

I don't think it's because of the country. Since Gmail only has .com

And AndreY said it didn't happen to him and some others.

Did you log out and log in after you applied the settings? Sometimes you can't see blog changes until after you restart MSN.

uh, and you must wait for a well before it updates.

In my case, it's been more than 2 weeks. I doubt it takes that long.

For the others: how much time passed?

I have a problem. I opened my contact card while i was chattin and could see only my hotmail id and none of the other addresses. Why is this happening ??

Because a contact card only displays your username and your MSN Space information, do you mean your contact list John?

PS: it took 2 hours for my contact card to update with logoffs and logons etc.

i have a similar problem with the contact card and MSN Spaces. I have a hotmail.co.uk address and my contact card now wont update since i changed the address of my space. im trying to close my hotmail and passport but it doesnt let you do it straight away you have to wait for ages.

hmm. i suppose the server is not reliable. now my msn 7 screwed up and won't let me sign in. and remember that msn 7 is still a beta, so don't expect it to be perfect

Mmm.... It's weird ... I have a month with my blog and i cant see my contact card with the info from my gmail acc.  But i can see it adding the gmail acc with my hotmail acc. Very weird.

Then whats the card that EeEk! showed ?? I dont have that.

Both MSN Spaces and MSN Messenger 7.0 are in BETA.  It is quite likely that things won't be fully functional at this stage.  They might have the update frequency set low during this testing period.

Hopefully things will be working properly by the time MSN Messenger 7.0 is officially released.
