Please just add an option to disable the extremely annoying photo share mode, at least when someone posts a URL with a picture.
I don't want to be prompted to open photo share every single time someone posts a .jpg URL on my window (which happens all the time).
And please disable the indirect link method that Microsoft implemented in the new Messenger.
Now links that open in the browser don't go directly to the site. They go through some kind of warning from Windows Live. Not only is it annoying, but it also blocks some URLs I use because the site thinks I'm hotlinking and blocks the picture that was supposed to open!
Getting the display name back would be awesome too, but I'm aware that might be impossible.
Keep up the good work!
