reply to menthix:
yes on the 22nd it WAS on the site but there were many bugs: for example, it kept linking me to german sites and the 6.1 setup kept accidently downloading instead of 6.2. I never got to downloading it, but it WAS up. it was the new orange looking site.
edit: the 6.1 setup was there probably because they realized it was dodgy so they took it off, but it took a little longer to return the origional look of the site.

reply to sparkymcg:
msn-int.com is the msn internal site. it is for work-in-progress pages (from what im told). Why would they make it the new messenger home page when theyve already got a perfectly good msn.com?

What special features? Again... Microsoft NEVER anounced any "special" features like animated display pictures. These were rumours and misinterpreted information of too enthiousiastic Messenger users... read: http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=24...d=230891#pid230891

ok i see now. It would have been nice to have them features...
So really its jus another version of msn messenger 6.1 with a few changed bits and pieces, nothing major...

Why are we excited over a minor release?

there still are SOME guaranteed xtra's, for example, the New Games in the fun & games, and the emoticons in the text box which nobody seems to like

Security flaws need to be fixed, generally for your, and your computer's safety

I live in the UK and see no new games or activities. Is this because i live in the Uk, or will they be in the final release. (I have the release that was removed.)

The games you get (in the action menu) depends on what regio/geographical location you've set in your .NET Passport settings. Normaly this will be your regio were you live (in your case UK), but you can easly set that to something else.

Also, if you've patched your msn messenger with the "custom games patch" or the "tabserv patch", you will get all the games including the extra games from mess.be regardless of your regio settings.

(this is because the link for the action menu is patched; In a original/unpatched msn messenger the link points to your .NET settings. But with the patch it points to the "custom games" from mess.be)

Any ideas when this could be active for UK users without patching the MSN exe (which is illegal )

And also, as the messenger.msn.com site is now looking like 6.2, when will 6.2 actually be on there? (i know this is in another thread but they sort of tie in)

thanx

What would happen if the custom games location didn't work or was hacked or accidentally removed or something. You wouldn't have any games (Can the patch be removed?)

* You wouldn't have games also if the site from MSN was down or hacked.... Just the same...

* A patch can always be removed... Reinstalling the program you have patched is the easiest way...
