Not really a big issue , but I notice that the forum category thingy that was called something to do with MsgPlus before is now called "MsgPlus! Live Extension". As it contains pretty much all of the forums for help with both MsgPlus and MsgPlus Live, shouldn't it be changed to reflect that, as MsgPlus and MsgPlus Live are essentially two completely different programs.

Remember that they share a lot though.

I think the name change is right, since there's going to be a slow focus shift from Plus! 3 to Plus! Live over the enxt few months.

But MsgPlus is still going to remain popular. A huge number of people will either prefer MSN 7.5 or not use XP/Vista.

And if they all rename to Messenger Plus! Live, the section "MSN/Windows Messenger" should be renamed too....

Who uses Windows Messenger now anyway?

"MSN/Windows Live Messenger"

There was a thread the other day with a guy complaining cause we were trying to get him to upgrade from Windows Messenger to WLM... cause he couldn't get Plus! to work... said it was way to bloated and used too much memory.


But tbh, it looks fine now... because if we try and add EVERY single thing that we support from Windows Messenger, to MSN, to WLM.... and then Msgplus!, Msgplus Live.... and all that stuff and fitting them into the forum titles, it's all going to look like crap from trying to fit it all in that little space....

This has been discussed many times before. Search forums....

The name changes will be there to stay.

Nothing will replace "MsgPlus!" as that is the global name indicating both versions. If it would be only "MsgPlus! Live" people who are using Messenger Plus! 3 will be confused.

Yes there are still many many people who do not use Windows Live Messenger (and thus can't use Plus!Live). This is quite normal as not everybody runs Windows XP. Just as some people still use the more bussiness oriented Windows Messenger...

No seperate subforums will be made as that is quite useless and will only add more to the chaos since Plus!3 and Plus!Live are afterall still the same program! Only certain options have changed are new. This is nothing different than Plus!3 was updated or when Plus!3 was introduced after Plus!2. It is not because a program looks differently that it is a different program in totallity. Plus! and MS Word are two different program, Plus!3 and Plus!Live are the same....

That's exactly what I'm saying, it should say MsgPlus and not MsgPlus Live Extension.

I'm not suggesting adding subforums, it was just the name.

Like I said, it's not a big deal anyway

We made the changes how Patchou requested them.
