RE: all contacts gone
If your contacts are truly gone from the server, there may be an easier way to add back at least most of your contacts.

If you do not already have Messenger Plus! Live, go download and install it. Next, go to the Plus menu and select "Contact List Cleanup" and a window will open. At the bottom, there is a radio button labelled "Show contacts who have you". Check this.

What you have now, is a list of all your contacts who have you added to their list. To quickly select all contacts in the list, click the first contact, hold the Shift key on your keyboard and click the last contact. Then, you can click the "+Add to list" button at the top to add back all these contacts.

As I said, this will bring back most, if not all your contacts. If you had anyone on your list who did NOT have you on theirs, you'll have to add them manually still. But still, this method will be a big time saver.

Good luck!
