RE: Continuing to use Messenger after April 8
I just thought I should let everyone who's using the revive patch know that it's only a band-aid solution, as Microsoft is still terminating the MSNP next year. All the patch does is provide the same result as running Messenger in compatibility mod... | Chattanooga | Skype & Live Messenger | 06-27-2013 at 04:44 AM |
RE: Continuing to use Messenger after April 8
Anyone else receiving this sign in problem, simply just run Messenger in compatibility mode for Windows Server 2003, no patch necessary. Works with at least WLM 14 and lower. | Chattanooga | Skype & Live Messenger | 04-24-2013 at 03:28 PM |
RE: Continuing to use Messenger after April 8
If, when Messenger shuts down, there's absolutely no possible way of circumventing the block, Trillian will become my new IM service of choice. I'll use it for the sole purpose of linking it to my Skype account so that I can retain somewhat of a si... | Chattanooga | Skype & Live Messenger | 04-18-2013 at 10:33 PM |
RE: Continuing to use Messenger after April 8
I don't recall ever hearing that the first deadline would extend past March 15 to April 8. After they pushed it back from March 15, it was my sole understanding that the transition would happen over a course of time between April 8 and 30, not just ... | Chattanooga | Skype & Live Messenger | 04-15-2013 at 06:31 PM |
RE: Continuing to use Messenger after April 8
My thoughts exactly. And I thought the petition was bad. | Chattanooga | Skype & Live Messenger | 04-12-2013 at 03:14 AM |
RE: Continuing to use Messenger after April 8
The transition of phasing users from Messenger to Skype isn't something that could happen in just one day. It's a huge migration process, which is why it's supposed to take between April 8 and 30. | Chattanooga | Skype & Live Messenger | 04-10-2013 at 04:26 AM |
RE: Continuing to use Messenger after April 8
And so the lurkers come out of the woodwork. If I recall correctly, the full transition from Messenger to Skype is scheduled to take between April 8 and April 30, so I'm not surprised that Messenger still works. America and other English clients are... | Chattanooga | Skype & Live Messenger | 04-09-2013 at 06:27 AM |
RE: Continuing to use Messenger after April 8
Do let us know what your showings find on the current Chinese clients, if you ever get to checking them. Not to mention, though, if Microsoft [i]did[/i] release a China-only client, somebody leaking it to the rest of the world would be inevitable. Ei... | Chattanooga | Skype & Live Messenger | 03-30-2013 at 08:27 AM |
RE: Continuing to use Messenger after April 8
(Thank you for contributing to this thread.) I described unresolved issues with forcing Messenger to use foreign SOCKS proxies on the first page. There's a blog post that explains you need to edit your hosts file and redirect all the network ports/U... | Chattanooga | Skype & Live Messenger | 03-27-2013 at 04:14 AM |
RE: Continuing to use Messenger after April 8
I just made a discovery, and it may not even be worth mentioning, but it's interesting regardless. Apparently, even after April 8, users will still be able to connect to and use the web Messenger in the Hotmail/Outlook interface. At this point, I'm... | Chattanooga | Skype & Live Messenger | 03-26-2013 at 03:52 PM |
RE: Continuing to use Messenger after April 8
Did your friend merge his Messenger account with Skype? Anyone can run Messenger and Skype alongside each other if the accounts aren't linked, so I don't really know what, exactly, he thinks is going to "trick" Microsoft. Moreover, the fact that ... | Chattanooga | Skype & Live Messenger | 03-21-2013 at 10:55 PM |
RE: Continuing to use Messenger after April 8
I agree with you entirely. It's unfortunate, though, that Microsoft probably won't listen to consumers about this. They bought the rights to Skype some time ago, and are now likely to shift forth all of their effort into it. From a business perspec... | Chattanooga | Skype & Live Messenger | 03-21-2013 at 05:01 PM |
RE: Continuing to use Messenger after April 8
To get to the Connections tab, you have to go into Messenger's options. On the left column, there should be a tab labeled "Connections." That's how it works in Messenger 2009, at least. Don't know about the 2011 or 2012 versions. Anyway, yeah, I... | Chattanooga | Skype & Live Messenger | 03-16-2013 at 09:37 AM |
RE: Continuing to use Messenger after April 8
Getting back on topic, does anybody think that the Chinese client is going to work past April 8? Maybe someone with a better technical understanding can open up the program and see if it's at all different from the English/standard version. I'm hon... | Chattanooga | Skype & Live Messenger | 03-15-2013 at 02:47 AM |
RE: Continuing to use Messenger after April 8
No-one else has posted in this thread yet, so I may as well share a discovery I made the other day. After substantial amounts of trawling, I found what appears to be the official (?) Chinese Messenger client. Here's the website: http://www.windowsli... | Chattanooga | Skype & Live Messenger | 02-15-2013 at 04:57 AM |
RE: Continuing to use Messenger after April 8
Then could you manually input a Chinese proxy in the Advanced Settings of the Connections tab in Messenger's options? I just can't help but think that it's entirely possible to work around this global protocol shutdown by tapping into Chinese serv... | Chattanooga | Skype & Live Messenger | 01-25-2013 at 05:10 PM |
Continuing to use Messenger after April 8
So, I got wind of Microsoft merging Messenger accounts with Skype, and I'm sure one of the first questions that came into peoples' minds after knowing this were, "Will I (somehow) still be able to use Messenger after April 8?" I've done some loo... | Chattanooga | Skype & Live Messenger | 01-18-2013 at 02:01 AM |
WLM Automatically Adjusting Mic Volume
I realize I'm not the first to recognize this as an issue, but I've looked and looked for solutions online and haven't found one yet. The problem is that during a call, voice or video, Messenger (14.0.8117) automatically adjusts your microphone vo... | Chattanooga | Skype & Live Messenger | 03-06-2012 at 12:00 AM |
RE: Plus! 4.9
Yeah... I suppose it has been, even if the installer still [i]looks[/i] like it's version 5. I'm also now occasionally getting notifications to update Plus! even though I have the notifier turned off. I dunno. | Chattanooga | WLM Plus! Bug Reports | 08-03-2011 at 05:38 PM |

Geez, no kidding. Why do software developers always do this? | Chattanooga | WLM Plus! Bug Reports | 08-01-2011 at 11:39 PM |

Plus! 4.9
Hello. Why can't I download version 4.9 on the main downloads page anymore? The setup file still shows as "MsgPlusLive-490.exe", but it's actually version 5. | Chattanooga | WLM Plus! Bug Reports | 07-31-2011 at 11:34 AM |
RE: Weird "File Download" pop-up dialogue
I see. Thanks for the answers! | Chattanooga | Skype & Live Messenger | 06-21-2011 at 12:28 AM |
Weird "File Download" pop-up dialogue
Hello, second-time poster here. Wasn't sure where else to bring this to. Recently, every once in a while I'll get a window that pops up in Messenger asking me if I want to save a .swf file from the address "crtv.mate1.com" (one of WLM's advertis... | Chattanooga | Skype & Live Messenger | 06-20-2011 at 08:38 AM |
Small "bug" with Plus! 5 and Messenger 2009
Hi, I actually just registered so I could report a minor inconvenience I noticed recently since upgrading to Plus! 5. On Windows 7, I'm running the final build of Live Messenger 2009 (14.0.8117.416) in compatibility mode for Vista, Service Pack 2. W... | Chattanooga | WLM Plus! Bug Reports | 02-23-2011 at 12:59 AM |
