Then it just block... everyone... when appearing offline...

"Appearing Offline" and "Blocking" are the same thing in WLM 2011

---

But the case is it doesn't block, you continue to receive messages. Try it

Which takes us back to 15 posts ago where I said the same thing.

this messenger build crashes my computer.
I use MPC HC with direct3d fullscreen (forced fullscreen) and when opening or closing a video the computer crashes. the error file supposedly is "win32k.sys". installed latest wave3 and everything is fine! the leaked did not have this issue.

[EDIT]first post in 6 years! lol[/EDIT]

1 thing i hate about this Messenger, i cannot Message People on it on my facebook without logging onto facebook itself to send a 1 on 1 message to them ( as in a IM Message )

More thumbs down to this crap release  

something else, when i went to shut down the PC lastnight it wouldnt shutdown without me forcing it as somehting was running in the background still, only thing i could think of was the culprit was WLM2010  - turns out WLM2010 is the culprit, once i sign off from it, it doesnt actually Kill the  Process.  uses heaps of Ram to.. 57k atleast. even my Trillian Astra4.2 uses half of that

The webcam-related breakage is driving me mental. The lack of one-sided webcam viewing and apparent inability to hide the presence of your webcam (at least, I don't see the option any more) is ridiculous.

It's right there:

That's not really what I'm after, since it prevents webcam conversations entirely. I'm not talking about disabling the webcam; I'm talking about hiding that I have one (so that people don't bombard me with video call requests) but still leaving the camera itself enabled (so that I can use it at my discretion). An equivalent to this:

I see. Well I guess that's been removed along with the individual webcam feature.

Surely people don't want to video call you that bad?

Just decline the ones you don't want.

Sorry I don't have a better answer. Complain to M$ before they complete the final product.

you'll be forced to update for security reasons. unless you use a Hack or whatever to stay on that version without getting Notifications there is an update available

---

Nope.

WLM 9.0 will still be supported for a long time to come (since this is the only version working on XP, the new WLM is Vista/Win7 exclusive).

---

Surprise-surprise there. M$ releasing products which intentionally do not support older OS even their own. Last time i checked Win XP is still supported by M$. Billy ran out of money?

yeah on XP it will be supported for a long time, but im sure if one has Win7 and or Vista they'll force the update

@DrPizza

Peter Bright! Wow fancy running into you here after reading your article on Ars.

On a more Messenger related note, I'd like to see better integration with Office. In particular, Outlook.
