Elliot B. Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 I have renamed all my contacts. Are they stored locally (like how Messenger Plus! does it) or on their servers?

Barisko Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 HI, I hope this is not forbidden to ask... if so, admin please remove this post. (please note that I am NOT asking for any links/URLs for patches or hacks!) What options do I have to use Windows Live Messenger without an invitation. I know that there is some kind of client server that you have to run, but I do not like it. You can not minimize it and it has some advertisement in it. It's just crap. So, my question: are there more that one way's to use Windows Live Messenger without an invitation? thanx Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/408116-official-windows-messenger-live-beta-thread/page/13/#findComment-586928908 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mull Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Obviously, and if you had cared to read posts about WLM, you would have known unless you are a specially, picked beta tester, you can't use it. Saying that, theres always the MSNP13 downgrader, but I'm not going into that. @ Barisko I have made my downgrader minus the ad's, if you want PM and I'll figure a way to get it you. (I still haven't worked out the minimize thingy yet) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/408116-official-windows-messenger-live-beta-thread/page/13/#findComment-586929579 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClintEastman Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 I have renamed all my contacts. Are they stored locally (like how Messenger Plus! does it) or on their servers? Server side i think, also there is a bug where you can only rename them once! Sorted in the next build I hear. :shiftyninja: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/408116-official-windows-messenger-live-beta-thread/page/13/#findComment-586929725 Share on other sites More sharing options...

liamdaly Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 i thought offline messaging is where you can message people who are offline not if you appear offline Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/408116-official-windows-messenger-live-beta-thread/page/13/#findComment-586929962 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slimy Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 How would you talk to them if their computer is off? This offline messaging is sweet cuz you can talk to only select people when you don't want other people to bother you :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/408116-official-windows-messenger-live-beta-thread/page/13/#findComment-586930047 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delox Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Heh, this whole process is insane, and not very well organized for Microsoft. I signed up for the BETA, but upon recieving my email invitation, the code is dead. So here I am with 5 tabs open, one to this forum, one to this thread, one to the invite thread, one to Mess.be's invite page, one on my email address, just incase, and one on connect, on the off chance the code was for some reason only temporarily dead. Insanity. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/408116-official-windows-messenger-live-beta-thread/page/13/#findComment-586930384 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangbang023 Veteran Posted December 16, 2005 Author Veteran Share Posted December 16, 2005 How would you talk to them if their computer is off? This offline messaging is sweet cuz you can talk to only select people when you don't want other people to bother you :D Offline messaging refers to the fact you can send a message to someone who is offline, as in, doesn't have their computer on or connected to MSN. It stores the message server side and delivers it when the person signs on. Yahoo has been doing this for years.

Except for MSN, where offline messaging means you can send messages to contacts when your status is appear offline. I don't know why they don't have a feature like Yahoo's...
