It was in older versions, but in Messenger 2011 messages are always grouped. Although many people who dislike this don't seem to realize messages are still split when a person keeps talking for more than a minute (and timestamps are on).

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!

Both this issues annoy me immensely, why do they think they need to proxy urls for me? Just to make the photo share mode visible since apparently nobody likes it?

Of course asking for things on the internet is easy, but we can't be the only ones that thinks this "updates" are a nuisance,  and a fix to them would certainly benefit the plus community at large.

Whatever is decided, keep on trucking.

I agree, and I think that most people consider that these updates are a pain in the butt. I can't imagine that Microsoft could come up with those ideas and not offer an option to disable them.
If you have a web browser compatible with Greasemonkey scripts (Firefox, Opera...), you can use this to bypass Smartscreen: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/88898

If you take a look at a few threads around here, you'll notice it's because of people not using Smartscreen that Microsoft have had to disable urls in messages. You may be taking a second or two off loading times for websites, but open yourself up to viruses and phishing attacks. I highly recommend people don't do this
