i use internet explorer6 with windowsxp sp2
i can can access msgplus sound server web page no problem

I would say I have just one problem:

It may sound stupid to you, but not to me.

I made some Custom Emotion Sounds myself and I always ticked the option that says something like "Sound will not be available for other users" (I could only tell you the German name).

I thought this meant "Your friends won't be able to steal your personal sounds" and not "Your friends won't be able to hear them at all".

And now, that's the stupidity:
I can't find an option to change that matter.

If there is one, I am just as blind as always. Please tell me where to find it.

If there no one, I want a good, reasonable explanation for that, please.

"Mark private" only means the sound won't come up when another user uses the random sound feature to get new sounds. The sounds will still get into the soundlibrary of the person you send them to (they can't hear them otherwise and if they want they can pass them on too). Once you marked a sound private you can't change this.

The reason why your contacts can't hear them might be because your sound(s) didn't get uploaded (servers full or other temporary serverproblem), try again later on and it will work.

Hi im having exactly the same problem i cannot send custom sounds nor can i recieve then all i get is "there was an error contacting the server please try again later" i have tried disabling my firewall which still does not work.

Looks like a routing problem, Even though you are able to connect, it's very slow getting there.

What kind of internet connection do you have?

Im currently on a maximum 56K connection although im getting a report that it may be ISDN 112K i have my modem set to maximum port speeds and i have data compression/error correction enabled. However when i did the ping tests earlier i may have had internet applications running in the background. I will try again without Messenger running and post the results

You may see alot of problems using the feature at 56k speeds, I've never tried it at that speed so I cant say.

do u think i should try an internet accelerator and then try and run custom sounds? do you think that would work?

Mind you it probably is something to do with my internet speed as ive had no real result in finding out exactly what it is. Ive had some sites tell me 112K and others tell me 38.8K. So all i know is its somewhere between 112K and 38.8K

hi. i downloaded msg plus last night. my mate did so at the same time. his works and mine doesnt. i get no sounds at all that he sends. i get this after the name of the sound he sends ( try again ). its not automaticaly downloading itself. when i click on it it just flickers and does nothing. if i create a sound it uploads to the server ok but will not send. it says server is not availible. i have checked all the other settings ie firewall ect ect but no joy. i even disabled everything as sujested but still nothing, i am running on firefox and my internet exp is still installed an up to date. i am now at a complet loss. heres the results of the ping
