Okay, I've had this problem for a really long time now. Whenever I add a contact he/she won't show up in my contacts list.

I have to log in on the really old Messenger that came with the computer (version 4.7) to be able to see the newly added contacts. It doesn't work for other people to add me either, I don't get the request until I log in on the old version of messenger and whenever I log back in on livemessenger they are gone again (very frustrating).

Also when I'm on livemessenger, the newly added contacts don't see me as online, they can only see me when I'm using the older version. Livemessenger only works when I want to talk to contacts who I've had for a very long time, before I started having this problem.

Anyone have a sollution for this?
