ops sorry, the other topic is in "testing and trashing" section so I missed it (before posting i looked for new build related topic in msn messenger section only) 
RE: Windows Live Messenger 8.0.0562 by Hank on 02-10-2006 at 11:29 AM
from the looks of things Aussies can now use the Share Files now?
RE: Windows Live Messenger 8.0.0562 by giken on 02-10-2006 at 03:03 PM
I installed it but files sharing feature is still disabled for me... If I use a proxy it works, so it's related to user's country I guess (I'm Italian, proxy is canadian)
RE: Windows Live Messenger 8.0.0562 by YourNeibour on 02-10-2006 at 04:02 PM
I wonder if it is finally released it will be easy to use without this proxy thing.

man i see that older builds (like 3.54) are working on this version 
but only a few options work colors and many other things don't work but like hide messenger and lock messenger are working 
man i hope i can get colors to work 
lol just for fun
RE: Windows Live Messenger 8.0.0562 by MaRy! on 02-10-2006 at 08:47 PM
I like more this version because the colors are more luminous and nice, but I'm not official tester, I was invited :\ I'm waiting impatient
RE: Windows Live Messenger 8.0.0562 by Supersonicdarky on 02-10-2006 at 08:59 PM

its very nice respect-to other beta versions.Contact list design very nice.
RE: Windows Live Messenger 8.0.0562 by RebelSean on 02-11-2006 at 06:13 PM
One thing I despise is that the login time has not been improved or at least it seems. It took well over 2 minutes to sign-in and get my contact list. Which is almost double from the last build.

Yes, signs in quicker for me but my contact list loads so slow and while it does it, it eats my process memory it is a serious issue.
RE: Windows Live Messenger 8.0.0562 by ipab on 02-11-2006 at 07:06 PM
My opinion: It was rushed. The colorization effect should prove that. The toasts are massive 
. Other then that I like the slimmer feel to it. Sign in takes longer then before though 
. Plus, whats with the reurn of the old MSN buddies .

It wasn't rushed at all, if it was, it would be more done. The idea here wasn't to get something finished, it was to get something uploaded.

It was indeed rushed, if you read the newsgroups you'll see that this build was not even intended for testers. But someone worked their magic and we got it.
RE: Windows Live Messenger 8.0.0562 by _James_ on 02-11-2006 at 07:20 PM
i found a leak on some random site before and i think it's a lot better than the other beta but still takes forever to sign in, ande contact list loads quicker
RE: Windows Live Messenger 8.0.0562 by RebelSean on 02-11-2006 at 10:02 PM
Has anyone found a way to fix the bug in the WMP plug-in that is making it not pick up the author of the song currently playing?
RE: Windows Live Messenger 8.0.0562 by Voldemort on 02-12-2006 at 12:20 AM
I think its better, but the right aligned part and those big toasts make no sense to me at all. We should be able to change the font color too.
RE: Windows Live Messenger 8.0.0562 by Hank on 02-12-2006 at 01:43 AM
as Shawnz Said, it was NOT Rushed .

which is exactly why it WASN'T RUSHED -- rusing by definition means to finish it quickly so they can release it. this on the other hand was just a dropping of whatever they currently had. it's bad, not rushed.

Allow me to quote Mike McCoy (MS WLM Beta team) on Messenger8 beta newsgroup:

We would get earlier feedback and validate this build before releasing to the rest of the beta. The product team agreed, we hanged a few of our processes, and we were able to get you this exclusive preview.
LEAKING THIS BUILD WILL JEAPORDIZE OUR ABILITY TO DO THIS IN THE FUTURE!
Leaking means hosting it for download by non-managed beta testers or giving it to someone who hosts it.

RE: Windows Live Messenger 8.0.0562 by Eddie on 02-12-2006 at 12:26 PM
i think its better than the original UI, and i think they could of kept the new pictures but just throw a clock infront like they did with all the old position pictures.

I downloaded the installer from the ideas.live.com site again, but it's still the same build. I'm wondering when (or if) the 0562 build will see the light of day for the rest of the WLM folks who didn't get on through the connect site.

..oh well..
RE: Windows Live Messenger 8.0.0562 by Dane on 02-14-2006 at 08:31 AM
Yes, .0562 is horrible. It looks like they totally reverted to the old MSN engine and tried throwing crap on top of it as quickly as possible. NOT GOOD.

it saught of is the older version of MSN ( older MSN messenger Engine anyway ) , hopefully Microsoft sticks to it an not go back to the newer Engine ,
RE: Windows Live Messenger 8.0.0562 by Exca on 02-14-2006 at 10:59 AM
I really like the design, and it works much better than the past beta.
RE: Windows Live Messenger 8.0.0562 by xJ + on 02-14-2006 at 11:17 AM
The design looks nice, and I don't like the status icons to change back to the original ones. Though it's difficult to check their status but it's better to have changes. New Name, New Icons, New everything.

RE: Windows Live Messenger 8.0.0562 by haydos on 02-14-2006 at 03:02 PM
I must be the only person who has loved the design of the previous Beta and the current one, The only thing which doesnt really suit for me is the return of the old 
buddies in the contact list.

That they don't work for you or your friend does not mean they intentionally did that nor does it mean they removed chat logging. You can leave feedback/report that it doesn't work so they can look into it and solve it.
Please word your sentences differently so they really say what you mean.

RE: Windows Live Messenger 8.0.0562 by Exca on 02-15-2006 at 05:10 PM
Maybe the old buddie icons are temporary. You know that the first beta only showed online/offline (green, light green)... now we know how it looks, i guess they are advancing them and added the old ones to make it easier to see peoples status now.
I can be wrong.

maybe because like half of the old ones are still there... ex your signing in its the green ones. your signed out its the green ones, the top left corner is the green on and finally when you recieve email or someone signs in etc its the green guy. not the aqua guy from 7.5

That's right .. everything that has to do with beta-testing must not be leaked, even the emails... and that means someone already posted the email that Patchou sent to that tester.. telling me that maybe that person will leak the alpha version.

Just so you know, the tester who posted this email has now been banned permanently from the beta testers list. Beta testing is a serious work, performed by people who have to be trusted. And anyway, copy/pasting the emails of others without their permission is rude.

Good Move, Fast
BETA testing isn't just about getting a program before it comes out. You get selected because you are trusted with private info and are willing to test the program.

wow that was quick
Testing is very serious, not a game.
Yes that was quick

Complety agree with that....I didnt want to become a tester just to have the prog (well at least that wasent the highest priority
)...but instead find bugs for when the final is released of MP!L Is released it will be bug-free.Anyways for WLM 8.0.0562
I have been enjoying this one better than the other. Even if it was not meant to be released it is still very nice. Yet buggy. Me and few other have discovered a few bugs already
"Well everyone knows the WLM converstation text bugs, well here is a list of what I know.
* Unprased emoction text before emoction
* Hightlight and delete/edit text
* Copy and paste text"
I have also found...when you return to WLM after it was minimized to tray. It displays a no contact on contact list message for a little bit less than a second and then populates the list.
For design I really like it
So far I have a light-light-light-blue color for WLM and the message window of WLM.
Overall I think the final product will be awsome

I agree. I also think Patchou made a good decision on how to deal with this situation. It set's an example for other who are considering leaking information about a beta test process.

I get this problem even when opening it from the notification area. It doesn't have to be minimised..
Other than that i think its a nice build. I Prefer the GUI to the previous WLM 8 one.

Same happens to mine Salem, but i wouldnt class it as a major bug lol But yer i agree the UI is better than the original WLM 8

Okay, first of all, before you all get the wrong idea about me:
1. I am new around here, I don't know hardly any of you very well, I don't visit around here often, and yes I was new to your beta testing here.
2. I was just simply excited I got accepted. I wasn't even expecting to be accepted. So i was very happy and proud about it.
3. Maybe it was my fault for not asking about what to do and what not to do regarding beta testing Plus. I was not familiar with what you are and are not allowed to discuss.
4. No, I wouldn't have leaked the beta.
5. I understand how serious beta testing is. I'm not stupid, I don't leak things. I do other beta testing.
6. I do appreciate those of you who came to my blog though. The entry was removed.
7. I do think it was a bit harsh and over reacting that I've been permanently kicked of the beta for that.
Think of me what you will. I apologize, and it was a mistake. I wish I'd have another chance. But do what you will. I'm just defending myself.
Patchou, I'm sorry. We don't even know each other. This is a misunderstanding. I'm sorry for blogging the email.

I don't know what you even meant by your post.
I don't leak anything I beta test. it's not worth it.
Now I'm not continue arguing in here. For one, it's getting the topic off topic, and I don't want to make this worse for myself.
If you want to talk about this with me, do it under PM please.
Last thing I'm saying about this is it's a misunderstanding that I felt should've been handled differently.
RE: Windows Live Messenger 8.0.0562 by Hank on 02-16-2006 at 12:37 AM
info on it yeah but not mpl4 beta no

"mpl4" is this current beta?
Anyway, it was an accident like I all ready said. I wasn't aware making the emails public was a problem.
I've had it all explained to me now.
Just let it go. If Patchou wants to talk to me about it, he will. I don't need any more arguments from anyone else.
I don't appreciate how quick some of you are to jump to conclusions when you don't know me, and just assume from that ordeal I can't be trusted.
I was at work during when this all happened. If I could've resolved it sooner, I would've.
One last thing, you other testers shouldn't have linked to my blog, since what I posted was such an issue. What you should've done is not have posted links to it, and instead had only just PM'd Patchou and I. I also would've appreciated waiting until I was online again to discuss this with me instead of going over board and removing me. (This online/away thing here confuses me, it looks like you have to set it yourself and it's not automatic. Maybe to everyone I looked online at the time when I really am not.)
Let the topic get back on topic now please.
RE: Windows Live Messenger 8.0.0562 by Patchou on 02-16-2006 at 02:06 AM
Hi Trunten,
I understand this was a mistake from your part, I'm sorry if my decision looks harsh, it probably is but I've had many problems in the past with potential leakers so I don't take any chances now. Please email me and we'll talk about that.
