Nice work, Yuna. You've turned what was a nice-looking application and website into a dirty mess.

You need to spend your money on proper interface designers and web designer, probably throw in some money for ux whilst you're at it. The move to a larger company was supposed to be a positive thing.

Most of all though, listen to your audience. They all hate it.

Correct me if I'm wrong here but didn't Cookie a few posts before mention that they have since redesigned the site etc?

Same. Good ol' GFD.

(I swear I'm not experiencing the facebook syndrome!)

Just have faith in them as what they are doing is hardly easy now is it? well to some it might be but me personally its far from it. I couldn't program if my life depended on it as I was never that good as getting my head around it was impossible lol

Do you now have a Releasedate for Plus! 5 or comes out 31.01.?

There is no exact release date only a rough guess as to when it might or should or could be released. They plan to release at the end of the month.

That's not really a valid excuse. It may not be easy to design a website, but a professional can sketch, revise, sketch, mock-up etc and know when something is good. The original design they presented looked like something that would be done by somebody who's never designed a commercial website before. I'd even go so far as to say that that's probably the case.

What's happening is that they're trying to put their own footprint in "Messenger Plus!" and saving money in certain places. They may be investing additional money in the software itself and paying less for designers which is terrible, it completely devalues the current state of the software and the website which, to be frank, is one of the nicest-looking windows live messenger associated websites out there (though it's by no stretch of the imagination perfect or could even compete with other sites). To be honest, it's like going back to day one.

Really, really disappointing. What's even more disappointing is the responses I got to my original one saying that Cookie et al have said it's good. Why back somebody up when you haven't seen the new design yourself. I'm talking about the original ones.
