MSN messenger

Trillian ftw.

MSN only fails to deliver messages from me when I'm talking to someone using Yahoo, because Yahoo sucks. Seriously. The network was always so unreliable I don't use it at all any more.

[Værn]

MSN only fails to deliver messages for me when I accidentally deactivate my wireless connection.

Mines started doing it recently, but only because I've been having server issues, so its' hardly MSN's fault.

On the whole MSN has always been fairly reliable for me. But I noticed that long conversations always mess up some things. File transfer is more likely to fail and there's never a preview anymore. Also, drawings no longer show up and yes, in some cases I get that dreaded "message couldn't be sent" error.

More people need to use XMPP/Google Talk

[rubah]

I'm on google talk, that's how I talk to warren, roogle, and rsl

I've had a Jabber account for years now, but no one else I knew was using it and using it with ICQ or MSN contacts is not really as convenient as using a real ICQ/MSN client, so I stopped using it.

[Rantz]

I use my Gtalk account in Pidgin.

[erikramza]

yeah smurf it in the face. When I want to read new emails it opens in IE and it takes forever to load. FOREVER.

Let's start a social group on EoFF, erikramza, just you and me. What do you say?

Let's. It shall be called "smurf msn: the social adventure".

So basicly I can't fix it? Gotta wait it out, and try logging in and out...

BACK TO AIM!

I have never had problems with Windows Live Messenger or older versions of MSN. Are you sure that you have all your .NET Framework versions up to date? (usually Windows Update gets them but you never know).

[Krelian]

The .NET framework doesn't have anything to do with Windows Live Messenger. Unless they changed it in the latest version and I'm not aware of it it's not even a .NET application.
