I found this on microsoft's messenger service status page ( http://messenger.msn.com/Status.aspx )

EDIT: it is working for me now as stated in above posts. Although I would hardly call this routine maintenance...

Could someone tell me whether it is now working for them or not, because Ross has stopped replying to my messages and I have no one else who shows up as online to be able to check.

Mine's still not working, dplax. :(

It worked for me for about 10 minutes and now it seems it has died again. :( I guess I'm off to sleep then. I hope it shall work tomorrow.

still not working here....i just thought it was my computer and laid off, i didn't know everyone was experiencing it
XDXD

Update: it seems it had been working all the time, it was only Ross who got a lengthy phonecall. Apart from the first time when it did not work of course.

Can't tell, everybody is offline. of course this is still in a early morning. people are still sleeping.

I've been having trouble logging in myself, even now. Hopefully it'll get fixed soon.

This morning (here in Europe) it isn't working for me and I found this on its status page somewhere hidden amongst the microsoft pages. Actually it doesn't have too much new info:

Still not working here in the UK either :( Tried with Gaim, aMSN and Trillian. The most detailed error message I got said that it couldn't connect to the notification server...
