O.P. Huh?  possible glitch
:wall:A buddy an I use mess plus all the time but... She had a resource drain which was leading to mass bandwidth loss (a 7-30 second ping!) and she is on a DS3 connection! She deleted mess plus and the drain was plugged( her ping is now normal again no more than 1 sec). She believes it was caused by the server for the sounds. I have problems occasionally using the sounds too and have no band loss @ all. But this message comes up from time to time:

"An error occurred while contacting the server, please try again later. If the problem persists, check your security settings."

I never touched my security settings so I know it ain't that. If this is a problem for anyone else?:type:

If the server is a problem... Why not use the sounds P2P instead? Just use the master server for registering them...
^o)

RE: possible glitch
The sound server from what I know is offline. There are more servers I think being added. As for the lack of bandwidth did your friend by any chance install the Optional Sponsor included with Messenger Plus!? It doesn't access a server to transfer data or anything like that. It is probably because of the sound server being offline. Does the lack of bandwidth start after she tries to send a sound?

Patchou doesn't want to transfer data from one PC to another. This is why he has yet to add the option to show who has Plus! and who doesn't. Sounds are sent through the same way Winks are sent as far as I know.

No just a constant drain and mass lag.(tu)[Image: throwpc.gif] Unusual as we both run XP Pro and have current comps and keep then clean and tweaked.(ap)

Ahh... I understand the idea of "filtering" to maintain integrety and prevent sending sound viruses. Tres chic and well thought out... Kudos on that!(Y)

RE: possible glitch
Well, this may all be related to problems that the servers were experiencing today... we're currently working on a high-end sollution to eliminate, once and for all, any lag with the sounds. Sorry about the problem.
