Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by Patchou on 01-23-2006 at 05:54 PM

Hello,

as I've seen numerous posts regarding beta testing these past few days, I though it was time to make some official message about it. So, if you want to beta test the new Messenger Plus!, here's how to proceed:

  • First, realize that beta testing is not a game but a job. Your goal will be to find bugs by using features that sometimes may not interest you.
  • Secondly, remember that Messenger Plus! Live, as its name indicates, is only compatible with Windows Live Messenger (Messenger 8.0). You will need Windows XP or Windows Vista to run it, don't try on Windows 98 or Windows 2000 with a patch, it won't work.
  • If you really want to help by becoming a beta tester, send an email to *removed* with the following information: your full name, your nickname, your country, your name on this forum (very important), and your motivation for beta testing. Also, please let me know if you beta tested the software before.
You have a couple of days to send your requests. I'll choose some people and if you're in them, you'll receive Beta 1 in about 10 days from now. Messenger Plus! Live being recoded from scratch, you can expect a lot of bugs to be found :). Also, please remember that the beta testers list is recreated with every version, if you want to beta test this one, you must send me an email or you simply won't be in the list.

Thank you for your help,
Patchou

Edit: beta testers have been chosen, thank you for your participation.

Great! Sent mine :)


RE: Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by John Anderton on 01-23-2006 at 06:20 PM

Is it necessary to send the email from the email account used to sign into wlm or my regular gmail account would do ??

Update: I just sent a mail from my gmail address stating my wlm address too. I hope that will do :)


RE: Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by cornetto on 01-23-2006 at 06:28 PM

I'm ok to beta test it too ^^
I'm french so maybe it can be useful... :P


RE: Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by Lt.Col.DraGon on 01-23-2006 at 06:29 PM

Applied to report bugs and give feedback ;)


RE: Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by Menthix on 01-23-2006 at 06:36 PM

* Menthix applies just to be sure :)


RE: Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by n0n3x1574n7 on 01-23-2006 at 06:39 PM

I'm a little worried about my lack of posts as I only joined the forums within the last few weeks but I have sent an application so I guess I should just keep my fingers crossed :)


RE: Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by SilverJax on 01-23-2006 at 06:44 PM

I'm ready for teh beta


RE: Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by rix on 01-23-2006 at 06:59 PM

Me too! I believe there's going to be many application forms waiting for acceptance, but only the best ones will be accepted.

Good luck, guys! ;)


RE: Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by TazDevil on 01-23-2006 at 07:07 PM

i'll try again i hope he doesnt think im spamming :(


RE: Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by bmtaylor on 01-23-2006 at 07:52 PM

Applied as well.

Worst that can happen is not to get on the list, but I think I can survive if I don't.  If I do get in, however, I'll not complain at all.


RE: Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by ~INVASION~ on 01-23-2006 at 07:56 PM

I made a poll cos i was curious about the amount of mail Patchou has to go through. If people honestly vote then we can all keep an eye on it...
RE: Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by Lt.Col.DraGon on 01-23-2006 at 08:02 PM

Remember that also guests will be registering right now to just apply to the beta. Patchou will receive a lot of emails this days requesting beta testing :P


RE: Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by Stigmata on 01-23-2006 at 08:06 PM

Do i get to be one? :D

Good luck everyone :)


RE: Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by prashker on 01-23-2006 at 08:20 PM

I hope people that are worthy to test get a chance to :).

For those who applied (such as me), if you do not get selected, dont worry ;-)...once a final is released you will enjoy it as much as the testers will :)


RE: Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by tony on 01-23-2006 at 08:41 PM

RE: Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by RebelSean on 01-23-2006 at 09:39 PM

Application sent! Good luck to all of you who want in this time :).

RE: Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by qgroessl on 01-23-2006 at 09:52 PM

Everyone has a chance, some greater than others, but if you have tested other products, I'd suggest you mention them.

That's not a bad thing either, it just would look better on people's behalf if you have tested other products. If you are very interested and show lots of motivation, then you have a chance of getting in. I'm sure there is other factors Patchou looks at, but good luck.
RE: Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by albert on 01-23-2006 at 10:23 PM

I don't think I have much chances to get in, but I still sent my application.. goodluck to every beta-tester :happy:

Patchou doesn't need the .NET passport you used to sign in to WLM, he only needs an email to which disclosed info can be send with further instructions (if you're selected).

The .NET Passport used for signing in to WLM is only for that: to be able to use WLM. This has got nothing todo with Messenger Plus! and can be a different email or emails ;)
RE: Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by ShawnZ on 01-24-2006 at 12:30 AM

Patchou: I sent you an email from the wrong email account, then sent a correction from my proper account. delete this post when you read it.


RE: Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by Chris4 on 01-24-2006 at 12:34 AM

I applied. (yn)

Hopefully I will get accepted, as I think I gave a good reason why I want to become a beta tester. :D


RE: Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by Lou on 01-24-2006 at 12:42 AM

I applied. Hopefully I will be chosen. Good luck to everyone. Hope I can test so I can find the bugs for the many users!

RE: Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by bio_hazard13 on 01-24-2006 at 02:52 AM

Good luck to everyone who applied.  I don't think my chances are that good due to me not being a totally active member on the forum.  Hopefully I can still get in and help find the bugs so plus live can be released to everyone in the final version


RE: Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by hsadan on 01-24-2006 at 02:58 AM

Application Sent. Like bio_hazard13 above I hope post count and age on this forum will not affect our chances :P

I'm new too on the forum cause I'm french but I spent some time on a french forum (relating MSGPLUS!)...

A new member is not necessarly a leaker off course, but he can't be a well beta-tester, who knows ?


I'm new on this forum, but i'm very high user of msgplus and its plugins, and I 've tested a lots of Plug o progams ...

that's the reason I've posted and expect to be selected as Frenchy's beta tester, I'll be glad of it :)


RE: Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by user27089 on 01-24-2006 at 12:07 PM

Fcukbong, it is doubtful that somebody who can't even spell "my" is going to be picked as a tester straight away.


RE: Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by zach on 01-24-2006 at 12:15 PM

I am writing my email now... Probably won't get picked but it's worth a try.
Does beta testing also include improving, not just finding bugs?

I'm sure that if you have suggestions you can hand them over to Patchou.

afaik it doesnt include all that *-)
RE: Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by RaceProUK on 01-24-2006 at 01:32 PM

Suggestions can be made whether you're a tester or not ;)


RE: Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by faquick on 01-24-2006 at 02:04 PM

Well... of course I applied. Now I hope that this time I will be chosen :) If not... well, I will surely envy who gets chosen but time will pass and I will get my hands on Plus Live when it will be publicly released :)

After all, Plus! has always been stable and with almost no bugs, so that means the existing beta-testers are very good :) and patchou probably does not need many more ;)

I know I'm a new member, but I've been using Messenger Plus since the early days and I think I will be a valuable asset to the beta team.

Yes, i love to test it patchou, just to let you know i am currently testing for microsoft alot of products like Windows live messenger etc..

The reason why i dont install windows live messenger is because:

and i am fully prepared to report bug errors and stuff to you!

Wow.. This  beta probably is just as big andpopular as WLM itself :O

My application has been sent, and i promise not to leak any info or a copy of it out :D (I know how it feels like..)


RE: Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by RebelSean on 01-24-2006 at 10:49 PM

Just as big? I don't think so :p. I don't believe there will be 10,000+ testers :p. I don't even remember how many was in the last, under 50 I'm guessing.


RE: Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by mm3guy on 01-24-2006 at 11:19 PM

Well, umm, Just as big an upgrade?

Hello,

as I've seen numerous posts regarding beta testing these past few days, I though it was tiem to make some official message about it. So, if you want to beta test the new Messenger Plus!, here's how to proceed:
  • First, realize that beta testing is not a game but a job. Your goal will be to find bugs by using features that sometimes may not interest you.
  • Secondly, remember that Messenger Plus! Live, as its name indicates, is only compatible with Windows Live Messenger (Messenger 8.0). You will need Windows XP or Windows Vista to run it, don't try on Windows 98 or Windows 2000 with a patch, it won't work.
  • If you really want to help by becoming a beta tester, send an email to mplus@patchou.com with the following information: your full name, your nickname, your country, your name on this forum (very important), and your motivation for beta testing. Also, please let me know if you beta tested the software before.
You have a couple of days to send your requests. I'll choose some people and if you're in them, you'll receive Beta 1 in about 10 days from now. Messenger Plus! Live being recoded from scratch, you can expect a lot of bugs to be found :). Also, please remember that the beta testers list is recreated with every version, if you want to beta test this one, you must send me an email or you simply won't be in the list.

Thank you for your help,
Patchou


Application sent last night. Doubt i'll get in though. Good luck to all those who applied

Last betatest had 46 testers. The MP!L alpha has 21 testers. I don't know where you got 76 from?

I guess the MP!L test will indeed have more testers then usual because there are so many new lines of code, which many loads of possible bugs :).

Thanks!

goodluck and have an good testing to the ones that are chosen


RE: Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by markee on 01-26-2006 at 01:35 PM

I know that I only registered so that I could apply for the beta but I have been watching these forums for months and months but just havent been bothered about registering coz everything that I want to say usually gets said before I get the chance.  I like seeing how things are progressing and the ideas that some people have (and trying to desypher some of them) but it really hasn't appealed to me to register so to those of you who are saying that it should come down to the number of posts you make I really think you are wrong in some cases.  I know I stand a slim chance of becoming a beta tester because of it but I guess I'll just have to wait like everyone else then.  Good luck to everyone that applied and I think that people should stop writing the stupid comments like "I've applied" then just leaving it, we could have saved about 10 pages on this thread if people were smart enough about there posts.  Anyways, good luck all with your applications, hope that the people who deserve it most and are the most willing to help get to be in the beta so that we can all enjoy it later.


RE: Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by qgroessl on 01-26-2006 at 02:13 PM

The job of testing does not come down to the number of posts.... But the respect and trust that Patchou puts into who he lets test does.... If he sees they've been around the forums for a while and are respectable regular members... He'll think about allowing them to test the beta.... Now people who just joined he doesn't know.

The whole point of having more posts... is that you've been around here longer... It's not so much the posts... but the quality of the posts... the number of years (months) you've been here... and whether or not you seem trustworthy.

Msg Plus! Live is a closed beta... as well as all the other Plus! betas.... Patchou is was very angry that somebody leaked the last one.... He doesn't want the same for this one.


RE: Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by matty on 01-26-2006 at 02:34 PM

Dont take it literal, it was simply an observation and a joke on my behalf. Because it was the same thing last year, people would register just to apply.

Closed beta. always gets leaked.

I wouldn't leak it.

BUT only people that he can trust would be likes of mods and close forum pals who support the community forum.

but then again could he even trust at least 1 person not to leak the beta to his/her best pal/girlfriend/Boyfriend/family members/

the beta gets leaked.

I found number of links to the last leaked beta but chose not to download it.

althou it was hard challenge not to click that button.


sum it up. the beta will be leaked no matter what. trust no trust it will be leaked.

Its always leaked. Damn people :@

If i was patchou i would use offical beta forum. and add the selected users he picks in to. and leave the beta to what ever.

others get it dont support on this forum end of people post for support remove it delete the topic. Screws up someone's machine are breaks msn are anything like that **** em they deserve it because they shouldnt have it :D

RE: Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by Idium on 01-26-2006 at 04:49 PM

this is all why it is a Chosen few Style beta, in order to try and prevent leakage. Beta software is buggy and therefore needs to be tested by a few people to get out all the bugs. ive applyed for the beta myself but i aint confident bout getting selected because of the mistrust caused by the last beta being leaked. i just hope i do get selected in order for me to help further Plus! development. in all i NEVER leak beta software because of my princable of not giving out buggy software. heres hoping im one of the chosen few.......

chosen few. as i said someone will leak it.

i no its a chosen few. it was chosen few last time.

i'm beta tester in lot of things

windows live mail
window live messenger
Windows vista
windows custom domains
plus alot of other different software :-)


Point of my post was its simply going to end up leaked.

personnally i don't understand why somebody would leak it. Thats is going a gainst patchou etc. the people who use there time to code it and give us the software.

i'm on messenger 2 thirds of the day @ a minium. WLM with out plus is useless and frankly boring and harder to use.

so i hope people don't leak it when they get it because that just causes a delay :@ and i want my msgplus live asap :'(

Yes, i see your point. But imagine if Patchou didnt chose "a slect few" to test MsgPlus versions just because i thought they'd get leaked anyway. Surely the more people you allow into the Beta the higher the chances are that it could be leaked?

Also, as far as i do know, Patchou doesn't just chose the first "x" applicants to allow into the Beta. He takes a look at what they've conributed to the Messenger community by etc. So that not just anybody gets in.

I also see your point that a low post count shouldn't lessen ones chances of getting to Beta test. However i do also understand why post count might matter.

My point exactly. Leaking Beta Software causes it to stay beta for longer and therefore it is just plain mean and stupid to deliberatly do something which extends the time of software in beta

It's not about post counts, it's about what is in the posts. How do you get to know a person on a forum? Exactly, by reading that person's posts.

From my point of view chances of getting chosen are just as slim for people who never helped out (don't show their Plus! knowledge/computer knowledge in general) but have postcount because they post in General Chit Chat etc. as they are for those who sign up only to get into the beta.
RE: Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by absorbation on 01-26-2006 at 05:43 PM

Also it's not about having Plus! it's about helping Patchou fix bugs. :P

Yes i understand that, that was what i was trying to say. People with 1 or 2 posts will have virtually nuthing to judge the person on. And will thus make it difficult to decide if the person is trustworthy.

I agree with this as well. Most of the people with such low post counts i would think are have just signed up to become a beta tester for MessengerPlus!

another good point, i regular beta test products, be it either mobile phone apps/games (Java J2ME) or PC programs (such as WLM) and i only test these products to further devlopment of these and products like these. Beta Testing isnt bout getting stuff before release date, its bout getting Bugs out of software.
RE: RE: RE: Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by joemailey on 01-26-2006 at 05:55 PM

well i signed up before but i didnt post much on here i think i asked for help once since then i switched e-mail accounts and therefore don't and can't get my password. :-)

but from now it looks like i posting because i want beta.

were as it isnt like that. i can spot bugs easy enough but anything i see r need help with is answered so why bother posting when the question has been answered lol.

plus i member of god no's how many different forums.

and as of the last few months and since christmas repairing & building new machines for people has been come to much work. but now i've freed my time :o)

AND Also my post about being beta tester and it getting leaked and stuff. Had nothing to do with joining to get beta invite :^)

it was just general opinion about beta's no matter what they are or who there fore they all get leaked. i didnt even no my post counts was so low :-(

because plus is getting bigger and bigger.

versions before that weren't import but in last 2-3yrs

instant messenging is becoming big along with the internet its self. plus is the most popular plug in for MSN soon to be WLM.

i suppose i should rephase SOFTWARE people want most always gets leaked. that keep you happy now?


Hopefully patchou can fine a way around this :-)

anyway to get installation package disabled after 1st install .?!?
that way people cant spread it lol

were ever patchou decides to let people download it from should be username and passworded etc.

and only set each beta tester the chance to download it once and once only :)

Patchou has security measures, the leaker ALWAYS gets caught..
the plus 3.60 leaker was caught.

RE: Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by yowzaboy on 01-26-2006 at 06:18 PM

Hi,

I would love to beta test MsgPlus! Live, hope I can help!

Thanks!


RE: Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by Patchou on 01-26-2006 at 06:19 PM

Could those of you who had problems sending me emails try again? I'd liek to know if this was just a temporary thing on my servers or if it's more serious. Also, please, post the full error message you got.

As for leaking the beta, this will absolutely not be tolerated this time and the system will be very strict: if a beta version gets leaks, it's automatically disabled for every beta testers (the beta will check on my server everytime you start Messenger).


RE: Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by rix on 01-26-2006 at 06:20 PM

I don't understand, why people request beta tester status and after acquireing it they spread it. Basicly it's giving away your status. Justice is going to get you!

Aah, im sure Patchou has no time to make security between beta testers more effective. All depends on the behaviour of beta testers.

RE: Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by Idium on 01-26-2006 at 06:22 PM

well, i as i have allways said i am furmly against Leaking of any beta as it actually creates probs and extends the time of any beta.

I like it :o)
RE: Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by GroteSmurf on 01-26-2006 at 06:33 PM

The fact that one is elected by Patchou to participate in the beta test, is in my opinion a great honour! It's just a matter of decorum to not disappoint the Master ;-), while he puts his trust in you and gives you the opportunity to help him finding the bugs in the next version of Messenger Plus! to make it a fantastic addon for the whole Messenger Plus! community. Therefore leaking is NOT done :@!!!

Just my 2 cents to this discussion :-)


RE: Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by joemailey on 01-26-2006 at 06:41 PM

if the beta checks on the server what happens if you become a beta tester and u run more than 1 msn account @ once?

i use up 2 four sometimes.

using a pologamy patch(well its and exe just starts wlm Beta Loader 8.0.0365.exe)

MSGplus works with every msn when i used msn 7.5?


so if some one uses wlm like me would the beta test end up messed up?

are will the server check on ip address as well as msn /WLM ID?


RE: Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by GroteSmurf on 01-26-2006 at 06:46 PM

well, I don't know if this would be a problem, but you could use one account with WLM and Plus! Live and the other 3 accounts together with Messenger 7.5 and Plus! 3.6 ... in that way you can not mess up the beta test ;-)


RE: Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by TheAngel on 01-26-2006 at 06:55 PM

why bother leak something? the beta status is its all about being buggy program. its like vista and IE7, why bother using programs in this stage if we aren´t beta testers? our ego? lol

and plus live was totally redone, not questioning Patchou skills :P it probably have many bugs on it, so isn´t like the leaked 3.6 one with tabs that probably worked well on almost all people

goodluck to the chosen ones


RE: Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by joemailey on 01-26-2006 at 06:57 PM

but i having found a way to start 7.5 and wlm 8 @  same time yet .

i have both MSN/WLM working seprate but not at the same time.

plus i gots all 4 accounts running as WLM with offical beta's :-)

plus alot more invites :D


P.S

I have vista and IE 7 running on my over 2 machines lol

Offical tester BTW

I understood from several posts on the forum, that you simply can copy the directory where you installed MSN Messenger 7.5 (usually c:\program files\MSN Messenger) to another location, install WLM into the default location and afterwards you are able to use both of them. Why not first patching 7.5, before copying it to another location, so it can be used more than once!?

However, if you want to use WLM with all 4 accounts, it depends on the check Patchou will do, I guess *-) and he won't probably tell everybody how he does it exactly, because there are allways people who will abuse this knowledge :-(
RE: Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by joemailey on 01-26-2006 at 07:17 PM

i had it set up like in ur post but it didnt work. also followed stuff on mess.be.

reason i just asked that Q is because if i did get to become a tester n i use it while running other accounts at the same time n patchou thot i leaked it then it be switch of for everyone probably get banned from forum and stuff.

then i be most hated guy in MSN/WLM community lol

always nice to no all angels :)


RE: Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by TeUtEu on 01-26-2006 at 07:46 PM

Me also I would like to take part and to be beta tester :)


RE: Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by mfragola on 01-26-2006 at 07:58 PM

RE: Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by joemailey on 01-26-2006 at 08:18 PM

If I'm chosen I'll have a couple questions about that Patchou!! But I probably won't have to worry about it... lol.
RE: Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by jordanspringer on 01-27-2006 at 02:01 AM

I would be interested in testing out the new Plus Live beta. I currently am a Windows Live Messenger and Windows Live Mail beta tester, and I believe this would be the third step! I'll run through the features and take my responsibility with being a tester to the fullest. I hope to hear from you guys. Thanks.

did u email patchou?
RE: Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by L. Coyote on 01-27-2006 at 02:10 AM

Just a question to Patchou: Will you send reject emails (as in: "you weren't chosen to beta test")?

I never got an error (bounce) email when I sent it, so I don't think I should worry about that issue. But just to be sure.

I am not saying that only you shouldn't. Im just saying it becasue there is no point posting on here saying you wanna test and why. Patchou asked you to email him that information. Those who post that informaton here will not be entered into the Beta.

Sorry if i offended you.
RE: Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by Phillip on 01-27-2006 at 04:40 PM

RE: Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by WDZ on 01-28-2006 at 04:44 AM

Well, several members think this thread should be closed now, and I agree.

:locknana: :locknana:

Posting here will not help you become a beta tester... just send Patchou an e-mail. :)


RE: Do you want to beta test Messenger Plus! Live ? by Patchou on 02-06-2006 at 09:45 PM

All the beta testers have now been chosen. If you have been selected, you'll receive a welcome email by Friday.
