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.

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?

Confirmed.

I was just about to bug report this. I havn't check my event logs, so have only seen tabbed chats & Desktop contacts show nicknames as "1"

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);
}

---

Sending a message with this script running that, i get this:

quote:

---

Richard
1

---

(my WLM name is 'Richard')
This means any script using it like in this example:

code:

---

if(Origin != Messenger.MyName)

---

wil be affected.

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
