I was signing in and rather than the "do you want to? no; remind me in a week" it said "new version needed to continue, yes or no" hit no and it just cancels the log in.

I gave up using it and moved to Digsby.
I was using the last WLM version and it kept downloading the new version onto my C: and then pestering me to upgrade, except I hate that version as I've tried it already in the past. The file size alone on that was a pathetic 40mb - 40mb to TALK TO SOMEONE? I mean wtf.

Back in the olde days of proper IM'ing messengers were under 5mb in size and didn't require services just to function. WLM is just getting too large for it's own good. Arghh must end rant!

I think their new version isn't half as bad as some of the tat they've been through in the past, its pretty nice to use, and sharing pictures, videos and webcam sessions are better than they've ever been

It's all quite bubbly now though i agree, either way i don't use it that often unless i need to webcam or talk to groups as i said so maybe thats why i like it

Red is busy and a shade of orange so similar to red that you'd virtually need to use the dropper tool in photoshop to tell the difference is away.

However, being the annoying gits they are, they've chosen shades that accentuate my red/green colourblindness so I can't see the difference between the red and green anyway. When i'm looking at my contact list I can't actually tell who is busy/away/online.
