New MSN Beta and MSNP18

Post by wlai »

Has anyone else been seeing trouble with their MSN account? I'm seeing alot of new issues since the MSN18 has been prop'ped to the MSN servers, that's tie to the new MSN Messenger Beta. I think the version # is 14.0.xxxx

Is there any development work going on with MSNP18? There are new group features. Thanks.

What issues are you experiencing? The ones that I know about is that there are issues with display pictures and that a chat window opens when a contact signs in from another location.

No work is being done with msnp18 yet because things will probably change until the protocol is final. There were a lot of strange issues with msnp13/14 in the beginning when wlm 8 was beta.

I have problems with MSN on Adium

Post by mypointofview2 »

With Adium 1.32 I seem to be able to connect to msn (my msn buddys show up in Adium OK) but when I look at my msn interface on my website I show up as being offline :shock:

When I quit Adium and fire up the original msn application I show as online. Also when I use Adium 1.31 and login to msn the web interface shows me as online just fine.

So there's a bug in Adium 1.32 regarding connecting to msn correctly.

Sorry if I cannot explain very well, what I mean with "msn interface on my website", I mean that iframe that msn offers to put up so people can message me directly from a webpage - see instructions here: http://blogs.msdn.com/angus_logan/archi ... -from.aspx

EDIT: I rechecked this for 2 hours now. It is clear that version 1.32 has a problem to communicate my online status correctly. I have to admit that with the earlier version and even with the original Messenger application I had difficulties, but once it was communicating my online status correctly, then only Adium 1.32 did NOT do so. Please fix it -- meanwhile I downgraded to 1.31 where it's OK.
