into
-your location-.

That what I said in my first post

No, it isn't as easy as that....

It has to be put thru a whole protocol, there are already some threads posts about this from the original author of the patch on this forum...

and where might these threads be ? i'm too lazy to search

Some posts before and after this, talk about a "service". It's not just something you just download, or as easy as the old configcache.xml... Also take a look at the link you have to put in: http://msntabs.ausmade.net/MsgrConfig.asmx...

If it was that simple, I think there would a patch already since '6.1.0000' that redirected the whole service to a local file being read... (would be indeed great though)

so by threads, you mean posts? i wish i knew when that service was coming

LOL

Thanks CookieRevised for posting that...

I have neglected the tab patcher because it is illegal to patch the messenger executable. Instead I'm working on a fully legal tab manager. I'll try and keep you posted with my progress

Currently it works with the latest version of MSN Messenger and it allows you to choose the tabs you wish to be displayed. Before it is officially released I will have added custom game support aswell.

There will be a beta testing period in which only a select few will participate

Great

hooray!!! can u give us a rough estimate of when this service will be available??

I dont understand why we cant host it locally? http://msntabs.ausmade.net hosts it, so why cant we? It has to support a whole new protocol, but that site has done it so we can aswell right?

clearly u dont understand the server has to send the information.
if ur computer is a server go crazy, u can host it locally but, it will still probably have to bounce off the internet so it would be useless. U can host ur own wbesite with .net/asp and make the server respond but then u would need to know asp/.net, i dunno bout u but i find that sh*t is confusing.

or u can use the free Apache server.....
