OK. I am so tired of MSN crashing or dropping my contacts!

In the past few days it has done both repeatedly! In the very wee hours of the morning today, several of you (especially Moiraine!) spent a good deal of time helping me restore my lost contacts to my MSN messenger list.

This was the 2nd full restoration I'd done and third time I'd tried adding anyone back since the first crash. So this afternoon I sign on and guess what? ALL my contacts are gone again!!!! http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no.../angryfire.gif And NOW it won't let me change my name, either! GRRRRR!!!!!

I'm begging your indulgence once again. If you had/have me on your list, please try to add me again or contact me to check (or let me know here that I do, in fact exist...sigh.. on your current list!) Please know that if you aren't on my list now it's a: oversight, b: an msn conspiracy to keep us apart, c: I've trashed msn in a fit of pure frustration! http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

OH and if you are experiencing similar difficulties and irritation (or worse!) feel free to grouse here!

Sigh...sympathy graciously accepted. ( LOL ) Sigh..... off to go see who I might still be missing...sniffle http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/frown.gif

Cloudy, wif sore typing fingers http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/frown.gif

it's a pity you all use MSN messenger. I use AIM and it has served me rather faithfully for about 2 years going. I know I know, its AOL, but it works really nicely for me.

Regardless, perhaps I'll install MSN Messenger when I get home rom work. Cloud, perhaps you could assist me in adding contacts? Heh. You should know some of them by now by having to fix it http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif

Anyone else who feels up to the challenge of assisting a relatively new forum/Stealth Site peep in need, speak up http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

Cloudy, take some nice deep breaths and count to ten. I always have problems with MSN. Every time I try to sign on, it goes on forever and then says the server is busy or some such reason for not being able to connect. So don't feel bad, you're not the only one.

Personally, I have HAD it with MSN Messenger! I think I'm going to uninstall this piece of cr** and run with ICQ again.

Actually you're right Waluin, I also have AOL Instant Messenger and have never had a problem with it. You don't have to have AOL to use it either. I absolutely hate AOL, but I have to say their messenger is pretty reliable.

I've tried logging in for the past 10 days and nothing has worked either, so I gave up.http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/frown.gif

Nothing about losing my contacts though.http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...les/ponder.gif so I can't do much there Cloudy. Me think I need to snoop around a bit on the Microsoft website - hopefully they'll have a patch or something.

PS: Also depends on your version. So far I think I'm using "3.6.0026" if that means anything to you.http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

Good to hear someone else agrees. It's a pretty stable program. I'm not an AOL subscriber, so I'm happy its freeware.

Sorry to hear about your problem CB! You're always welcome to chat wiff me on AOL IM when I'm at home.

Oh, and I'll try and install MSN Messenger when I get home. I'd love to chat with you all in real time.

Thanks for the sympathetic support everyone! %@%$%^ MSN.....ahem.. well

I added icq and yahoo messenger as backups.May seek out AIM... sigh, how many IM programs do I need? LOL

Saz- I like MSN when it works and it HAS worked ok for several weeks...sigh.. sounds like they had a major server problem or something... Or maybe Ironworks' massive chattering took them down? LOL Sazzie, email me. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif We'll work out an alternative for game planning...if I can't sweet-talk you into keeping msn at all. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

Its official - MSN SUCKS! I haven't used AIM, but I have it loaded on my computer so I may have to make the switch.
