Just signed up for the Yahoo! interoperability in http://ideas.live.com, and weird thing happens.

When I checked my event viewer, MP!L said my contacts are begin to change their name to "1".

Every contact name in the contact list didn't change, only informations in MP!L changed(Contact Info, Event Viewer).

Anyone have same problem like me?

o.O confirmed here also.

MSNP14 i'm guessing is the protocol WLM uses and i guess it obviously had to change to support Yahoo interop.

32 = Yahoo
1 = Normal (.net passport/Live ID)

But I also have a "Name changed: 2". It's from a @microsoft.com address (Microsoft employee). So I guess that indentifies another kind of service.

I have added myself into my contact list, and I also have myself as a desktop contact.

That explains why my desktop contact name is "1"...

the microsoft employees stay the same for me now, no changes to their names menthix

I'm guessing its because in the commands sent in the protocol involving contacts, such as status changes etc, an extra value has been added, the number specifying the contact type, which is where previously was the email address of the contact, hence why it is always showing the 1 or 32

This also breaks scripts using the Messenger.MyName prperty.

code:

---

function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(ChatWnd, Origin, Message,MessageKind)
{
    Debug.trace (Origin);
    Debug.trace (Messenger.MyName);
}

well maybe patchou can get full names (if you choose that setting in messenger) now if he has a poke around?

I got the same issue oddly enough it only happens to me when my contact sets his or her status to away or be right back, is then when the name change to 1 for normal msn/wlm contacts and 32 for yahoo contacts like it got described on above posts.

But well this bug is kinda normal that appeared after all Patchou didn't had a way to check how msn plus will work with the yahoo operability since it wasn't available at the time he was working on the first release of the Messenger Plus Live.

will be fixed in 4.01, this weekend

tks patchou. I was about to cancel my MSNP14 Beta

Thanks Patchou, I can't wait for the version 4.01 to come out

Remember that 4.01 is "mainly" a compatibility fix + the custom emotes panel.

4.10 (or something similiar) will be a major feature update with some new features from the old Plus! or maybe we might even see something completely knew - who knows!

Yeah after all this version is a total renew of the old Messenger Plus so the features will appear gradually as new builds are released

yeah, read this on www.mess.be, also logged in for the new messenger protocol and looking forward to the new Plus!, really love this add-on

Hi!
Also having this problem after activating yahoo network on my account...
My guess its MPL's problem, not WLM itself, am I correct?
if so, then how come this issue does not appier immidiatly after logon, but after about 2-4 hours (in my case)?
Also, as fatfreechicken mentioned, after this issue occur (2-4 hours) some scripts get broken as well, but, before that, they work just fine...so, I guess there is a "trigger" that messes up MPL?

Just installed the lattest v4.01.240 and guess what? the names on "desktop contacts" still having this issue, the scripts still getting messedup once this occure!
Guess the only work around at the moment is cancel the yahoo network beta for the account

Yes, I'm sure its the new version, because new quick icons menu present.
Also, after upgrade the default emoticons menu got screwed up, only about 10-15 icons were showing, I had to use MP!L menu to access the rest of the icons...

Now I reinstalled MP!L, the emoticons menu fixed, so hopefuly the other issue will be fixed as well...let you know in a few hours

Yes, I confirm, the bug wasnt fixed in v4.01.240
Got back from work and one of my contacts was as "1" in the desktop floating bar. And some of the scripts screwed up too...

Looks like it isn't fixed indeed. One of my contacts also has the name "1" now... Dodgy...

I confirm it as well....My name changes to "1" or sometimes also my first and last name that is registered to my Live ID when I send emails

Does anyone have an idea what is going on here? Its quite annoying having all my contacts displayed as "1"

This is weird, in my side all is working fine, I have the Messenger plus 4.01.240 and my contacts haven't changed name to 1 at all and I have the Yahoo feature active

Yeah but some people here is still having that problem even with the 4.01.240 version, kinda odd if you ask me

Edit: Scratch what I just said above, I got the error too, one of my contacts name changed to "1" some moments ago, though this is the first time that it happens to ever since I installed the version 4.01.240 12 days ago.

Just to clarify this.
This "bug" does not affect main window, or chat windows, it affects desktop floating bars (these little bars floating on top other windows with contact names on it) and it affect scripts that use OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage and/or other functions/events.

Also, I'll repeat myself, this issue occur after some time WLM started (in my case its after a few hours), not immediately after start.
I'm not sure, but I think this only occur when a contact changed their status...

P.S. since this bug wasnt fixed, can moderators please remove [FIXED] tag from this topic's headline?

Well Actually I got the error on the chat window, kinda odd but I did it, but after that it didn't happened again

Woo! The list keeps getting long and longer! I've got the problem too, it happens when someone changes their status, and I found when they changed their status BACK to online, the floating window did not change to show the person was online. If you sign out that kinda 'fixes' the problem, but hardly solves it.

It's me again. This sympton appear again today.

But my software version is:

Windows Live Messenger 8.0.0812.00
Messenger Plus! Live 4.01.0.240

Weird...., anyone have same problem?

Yep i'm getting the problem again.. Perhaps msn have upgraded the protocol once again??.

Should be resolved in the next release. I spoke with Patchy online about it and he said it should be fixed so.

Sorry about that, it's fixed in 4.02 but I've exprienced some extra delays preventing me to release it before September.

roger that
