Profile Error by markee on 07-08-2006 at 03:48 PM

I was just looking at a couple of profiles and came accross something that needs fixing up.  Seeing as WLM has been released publically and out of beta then shouldn't the "MSN address" label be "MSN/WLM address" or "WLM/MSN address" depending on however you prefer it (I personally think the first will cause less confusion among new members and gusts atm).

To be correct, technically it should have been ".NET Passport" in the past... and now it should be "Windows Live ID".

Meh... I renamed it to "MSN/WLM Address" for now.

I still haven't decided what to do about the "MSN/Windows Messenger" forum. :P

gotta question, when Yahoo an WLM do go final together integrated together, will there be a Yahoo  Messenger  Group added into the forum aswell or not?

Probably not since this forum is surounding MP! and MP!L. Unless Patchou want to make a Yahoo! Plus or something ;)

IMHO I don't see why tbh...

It's not because another client could interpret some messenger stuff that there should be a whole new subforum... Never been done with all those other clients which use the messenger protocol either.

Doesn't mean you can't give some support in Tech Talk if someone explictly wants it of course...

Thanks WDZ for changing that, though Cookie is probably more correct with what it should be, but we won't go into that. :P

What about calling it the "WLM/MSN/Windows Messenger" forum? It is only another 4 symbols so it isn't much longer and it has them all.

Animal I don't think we should have a Yahoo Messenger Group when they become intergrated because Plus! is only for WLM/MSN/Windows messengers and not for Yahoo messenger therefore not having any reason for it to be included.  If Patchou found the time to do something for them too then I could understand it but at the moment I don't feel it is needed.  Just my 2 cents.
