the way MSN7.x (which is used by all pre-XP users) requests display pictures. The notifier used to work by detecting when your display pic was requested, which only happened when a convo window was opened.

MSN7.x now uses contact cards/display pics in the contacts window/display pics in the sign-in popup, so now when ANY of those happen, it would make the notifier popup (even if someone just opened your contact card) which makes it highly inaccurate and therefore pretty useless.

The Window Closed Notifier will no longer be included as current versions of WLM/MSN close the connection woth your contact when they have been inactive for so many minutes. The notifier worked by detecting when the connection had been closed, with the only way of it being closed being when the window was closed. As I previously said, the connection is now randomly closed, so you would recieve a notification not only when the window had been closed, but after your contact had been idle for so long, which makes it inaccurate.
