Members profile patch
___________________________________________________
timothy says:
  If you are living in the UK, you probably found out that the MSN Members profile site has been disabled. To re-enable the profile pages in MSN Messenger we have written a patch.

Point your mouse over here, and click.

Note: This patch only works on version 6.1.0211

BE SURE TO READ THE BELOW POST BEFORE INSTALLING THIS PATCH!!!!!!!!

(Thanks Cookie)

To install this you must close every instance of msn messenger completely.

This patch contains a patched english msgslang.dll (6.1.0211) and will replace your old one with it, nothing more.

But, be carefull with this "patch"...
It's only for MSN Messenger v6.1.0211 but since it will replace your msgslang.dll, every previous patch you did on this file will be cleared (for example if you changed away to idle).

The only thing that this new msgslang.dll replaces in your original msgslang.dll is this:
String Table > 35 > 1033 > 547, "%1!hs!/5meen_us/106?Version=6.1&GeoID=%2!08x!&Plcid=%3!hs!&CLCID=%4!04x!&Country=%5!hs!&BrandID=%6&passport=%7"

to this:
String Table > 35 > 1033 > 547, "members.msn.com/%7&pgmarket=en-us"

So you can easly change this yourself with ResHack in any other MSN Messenger version, without using this patch if you like.

What exactly happened to the Eurpean Profiles? I heard they took them away....but why?

As far as I know only the UK ones don't work...

same w/ me

works like a charm

Does anyone know when or if the UK public profiles will be back up?

I'd prefer not to change my MSN language file to US if it will back online soon.

There wont be any change to your language at all... It is just a different website (the one from US instead of UK) that is used to look up the profiles, nothing more...

there is a reason. 

Something to do with Child protection and the UK government requested profiles be made more secure as people were releasing personal data i.e. name and address and where thus more open to attacks from paedophiles

So hopefully they will be back with added secuity. And if MS have sense the other countys will have theirs changed as well
