Detn8r, thumbs up for that registry hack for killing tabs!!! 😀
And if you can solve the following, I might just form a religion based on you.
1) Any way of removing the huge hideous SEARCH button/text box below the Contacts lise?
2) There is so much wasted space above the Contacts lise where your nick and personal photo is shown. Can you “minimize” somehow all this space around the nickname and “Email” and “MSN Today” (bloody annoying) buttons?
3) Please, please, can anyone remove the advert banner?
Cheers
Is it anything like this?

If so, the error corrected itself (I think it’s a central database/server error) in 1-2 days.
Yeah, but initially it was for “Jet Studio”, or something of the sort, I think Hassan mistakenly posted it and changed it now.
Thanks, guys
Can anyone please verify that the Hasan’s link

is working OK? I’ve been trying several times in last 60 minutes, but I keep getting a 404. At first I thought it was a PC behind a proxy, but now I tried it on a non-behing-proxy internet connection?
Cheers
[Edit:] Combined double post. Do it again and I’ll chew yr ass 😎
You are not alone…
Terrific. They added a few more words to the email template, but you can still see it is just an automated reply.
Actually I got a reply from tech support, but they were under the impression that I have a problem with MSN Explorer 9 (I get the feeling this is why they wrote back in the first place), and it took three exchanged emails for them ro realise that I don’t even have MSN Explorer installed, and that the issue is purely down to MSN Messenger. Ever since I made this clear – nothing.
Ye-es… different e-mail reply templates, but it does seem to mechanical.
Meanwhile, I try a test e-mail every day, still nothing… you wouldn’t really think this looks like a major problem, would you?
Does anyone else have a feeling that we’re just getting automated replies with different names in signatures? 😀
It’s good that they say they’re on to it, but I wish I had some basic idea how long is all this going to take? It does not really seem to be a major bug. Majority of Hotmail accounts are working fine (so far I asked 9 friends to try it, 7 are fine). I was thinking of changing my email address, but I’ve had it since 1996, and I am one of the rare people never to change it in that many years…
Every morning I send a test email to myself… and still nothing.
Since the FAQ and Help section on messenger.msn.com were not helpful at all, I sent Miscrosoft guys a bug report, and I got some feedback from them Today. Nothing overly encouraging, just saying that they confirmed the problem (hm?) and passed it on to tech support.
I’m glad I’m not alone at least, and I’d advise you to send them the same report from
http://messenger.msn.com/Help/ContactUs.aspx
with specifications
General question: “I need something fixed”
Topic area: “Hotmail & Messenger”
Specific concern: “Notifications”as they might get a move on if they get a lot of bug reports for the same thing.
Last night I went mad going through my Hotmail account, trying to find SOME setting for it, as Messenger settings are obviously independent of the local machine/installation, right? Presumably, you can log in on any Messenger in the world and it will have your settings there, so the settings must be stored somewhere on MSN/Hotmail profile. No-thing!
Anyway, this is what they wrote back to me:
—
Hello,Thank you for writing to MSN Messenger.

Should you have any other inquiries, please feel free to write us back.

MSN Messenger SupportThis is really interesting. I’ve just installed MSN Messenger at home, and the same thing happens!
However, then I signed out and I signed in with a different hotmail address – for which, IT WORKS!!!
Assuming that all options are set in the same way (as they ARE!), where else could this setting be made? Obviously, two different hotmail accounts are behaving differently, and I must have inadvertantly changed the setting of my original hotmail address, but where? I still have “Display alerts when email is received” switched ON for both accounts! Could there be something in my Hotmail settings I should look at?
