Currently the amount of topics about the contact list clean-up is about 2/3 per week. So maybe if I make a full information post people can just refer to it.

• Currently the contact list clean-up has a feature that allows you to see if a contact has you on their list.

Currently this is not working; it's not Messenger Plus! Live's fault.

Messenger Plus! Live cannot do anything to fix this, as it's Microsoft's fault (the creator of Windows Live Messenger).

Why is this broken?
The Windows Live Messenger Reverse List Servers is somehow no longer working. This may be caused by a bug or a deliberate setting. Since this is fully on the servers side it can only be fixed/changed by Microsoft. The Messenger team is very secretive and nobody knows an exact date when this will be fixed. Sometimes this may be a local problem.

Manipulating messenger in certain ways can corrupt the proper working of your lists too (and as a result the reverse list of your contact!). eg: patching older versions to make them work again or removing certain files.
And this can even continue to corrupt the lists after you've reverted those manipulations.

Report the problem
If you think you are affected by it, please report it to Messenger Support in a detailed way! "it isn't working" is not going to help them help you. Also posting on 3rd party forums like this is not going to fix it.
