Windows Live Messenger 2011

Or just hide the social stuff by pressing the icon next to "Inbox" in the top right and wait for Messenger Plus! to be updated... :rolleyes:

EDIT: How is using your full name a privacy issue? Don't add people you don't know, simple.

Done that now, bare in mind I created this thread asking for help so dont roll your eyes at me.

I use msn for talking to a lot of people from online, if they know their full name they can begin googling me and finding me on Facebook, not a massive issue but I dont go around advertising my full name.

Had this version on my main desktop PC and it's absolutely VILE.

Anyone remember MSN 7.5?

howd u manage to re-enable it?

Download H Hex Editor (http://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/)
Go into your program files, Drag the Messenger.exe file to your desktop
Open it in H
Search for hotlink
Change any letter in that to something else (Eg totlink)
Then save, and redrag it back into the Messenger folder.

There might be some easier ways. I dont know. But it annoyed me so much i just looked through the exe and found that sorts it.

Why does every single WLM get worse by release? :|

[Jordy]

Here it is looking slightly better...

It's still got nothing on how it used to be.

You do realise if you make the window narrower it goes into the old-style list form?

^ What that thing said. I'm assuming you've clicked the grey column(s) picture next to Inbox and the MSN symbol (3 symbols on their own on the right in your picture)?

Such as


MSGPlusLive v5 will be released sometime next month, after which case it'll be greatly improved; but apart from the Webcam thing, I ain't seeing any issues atm. I think the way it sets your name makes it ALOT cleaner.. so people don't have names that doesn't really identify them..
