Isnt that just web based though?

hmm now I remember why I got rid of this in the first place. Is there a way to get the "other contacts" group to show at the top of the list like it did in 7.5? If not, this is going to digital hell.

Tican · 7 May 2006 at 00:23

Does anyone know, if I downgraded to 7.5 would I lose my settings/custom emotes/winks etc? (not that I use them often, just annoying to find them again

)

EDIT: Done it anyway all works now

You're not missing anything, it's still in Beta, there's just a new version out, and you don't need invitations anymore.

Is there any way to transfer my custom contact names from MSN Plus to the Live Beta? I wouldn't mind renaming them all manually except there's a couple of hundred so

Cheers,

Suman

I'm not sure, but maybe just a straight update would not deloete your custom names?

Sumanji · 7 May 2006 at 17:39

Plus is not compatible with the Live Beta though afaik?

Kainz · 7 May 2006 at 17:41

Quite sure its not. The only reason I'm not using WLM on my main pc (its installed on this lappy) is because I use MSN+ on MSN7.5 for its activities log which shows when contacts go on/offline - its invaluble to me.
