There have been a LOT of people on IRC today trying to get Plus to work with WLM 2009, but keep downloading 4.70 instead, because of the nice big download link for that version.

The link for the beta NEEDS to be made bigger, people are just not seeing it.

visual aid...



Throw us a bone, 95% of the problems that people on the irc channels is asking about could be corrected with a BIGGER Beta download link (or a better explanation on which version is which)

I usually have 2-3 people per day wondering why the apparently "new Plus! isn't working" in the Messenger 2009. All of those people simply don't see the small beta download link. This has been the case also back in September when the first public 4.79 had been published.

Agreed. The worst part is people are reporting bugs saying they downloaded the latest version. Be sure to make people lookup the buildnumber when they report bugs (some are using the leaked 352 too). Even I admit having downloaded the wrong version (twice!).

Increase the font size, or add some color. Ideally, next time host the beta on a separate page like /download/beta/ so every newspost can link directly to the correct place.

Brilliant idea......that way it makes it a lot easier giving people the link to the download

Yeah I nearly did with this version, had to cancel the download.

Agreed.

Now that we all agree, who can we keep poking to change it?

Still getting confused people wandering into msghelp in 3's and 4s baffled by their messenger not working properly, just because they clicked the wrong download. Think plus! is popular enough to deal with the negative image people are getting off off this but still it's not needed.
