 dwergs says ( 27 Dec 2003 ):
|
For those of you who are missing MSN Messenger on your HTC Canary based QTek 7070, you can now download a QTek version of the Smartphone update for MSN Messenger. There's no other updates included - just like the update offered by Carrier Devices and PPCW.NET for the i-mate Smartphone - but it will at least fix your MSN Messenger.

I guess you're not surprised to see a Christmas display picture special, are you? Oh well, it was bound to happen so we selected top notch DP's for you to use during these happy holidays. Some might be added later, but for now there are 27 thanks to ApeChild.com, Ghanz, ronylo, flash swiss, crazylaw and sproily (who even submitted hand-drawn display pictures!).

Hey webmaster, are you linking to Mess.be already?
 dwergs says ( 23 Dec 2003 ):

If you administrate a website and use one of the preformatted linking codes provided, you can get the traffic you send us back to your site... times three or four! No kidding, at the end of the day just look at the in/out stats from our top referrers list (in the Recommended Click box): 'out' will most probably have tripled 'in'! Link to Mess.be! Thank you :) |
Added: a Plus! plugin called WMPlus 2
 SLim_Shady says ( 22 Dec 2003 ):
|
WMPlus 2 is a plugin for MsgPlus! by PsychoMark that adds /xmp command and (!XMP) tag. This will display currently playing song in Windows Media Player 9 (older versions seem to work but are not officially supported), WinAMP 2 and Sonique. The way information about song is shown is fully customizable, beginning from color codes and (custom) emoticons, ending with choosing yourself which info to show/not to show, and in which order (for example you might want to show name of the artist in front of remaining time, but not to show rating at all)
WMPlus 2 already exists for some time, but today I have noticed that there is no such a plug-in on this site yet ;)
>> Download WMPlus 2
>> For more information on this plug-in, visit this forum thread, or WMPlus homepage

Report: Serious MSN Messenger 6.1 Bug!
 dwergs says ( 22 Dec 2003 ):
|
A serious bug in MSN Messenger was reported to me by Destructivechild creator British Nimrod. Upon changing his intelligent chatbot's email address to the rather lengthy destructivechild destructivechild.com, he noticed that a lot of people were suddenly knocked offline for an unknown reason. Further investigation revealed that contacts with email addresses of 26 characters or more are causing automatical sign outs on MSN Messenger 6.1 when logging on or changing their nickname. We believe this bug remains until Microsoft modifies the MSN protocol.
