    I've been having problems logging on to MSN Messenger on and off for the past two days now, with today locking me out entirely. Even the Service Status page nine times out of ten will not show, instead giving the error "this website is too busy to handle your request". What on earth is going on here - surely if Microsoft/MSN are pushing Messenger so hard they'd make sure they had the ability to cope with the demand? :confused: Presumably this Trillian thing still needs to log you on to MSN, so wouldn't help me? :~ Argh!

      Its a real bitch when your talking to someone and you get dropped. Also losing your connection to MSN is bad. :-O

      We brought out this new and very similar version of our expensive software because the old version was......old....It's a good enough excuse for Microsoft so its fine for us.

        Ah that may be it then. Some charming little urchin probably got a broadband connection for Christmas and is trying to impress their school friends by disrupting half the world's communications. As usual. :(

Hmm, trillian just mimics the same protocols that the official msn messenger client uses, so I can't see how it would be any different. I haven't had any problems with MSN on Trillian pro in the last week or so, but then I haven't turned my PC off in the last week or so, so haven't needed to re-log in to MSN much -- Help me!

                        As long as CP stay's up its not so bad (touch wood), if that went down then we'd be screwed.

                          Did you installed DirectX 9 and have a DSL/Cable router? DirectX 9 updates your OS with new uPnP software and some routers have a hard time to cope with it. If that's the case, get the latest firmware for the router. Frank http://www.frankliao.com

                                According to .NET MEssenger Service Status it is: .NET Messenger Service Minor difficulties hmmm..... how do they class the fact that no one can use it as a "Minor difficulty", more like "Major fcuk up" to me.

                                  I don't know, it would force more people to use decent IM's like Sonork. The main reason why ppl use MSN a lot is because it is easily availiable to windows users.

                                    Now, see - that's why you don't work for Microsoft. Not being able to use the software is trivial, there's *piles* of software no-one can use lying around for one reason or another. If in this case people actually *want* to use the software, well then that's free publicity almost, reminding the public that they really *do* want MS software, and so why not go buy more of it, eh? "Major fuck-up" would be more along the lines of MSN Messenger deleting all your files and then launching nukes at your home... ;)

                                      I've been having problems logging on to MSN Messenger on and off for the past two days now, with today locking me out entirely. Even the Service Status page nine times out of ten will not show, instead giving the error "this website is too busy to handle your request". What on earth is going on here - surely if Microsoft/MSN are pushing Messenger so hard they'd make sure they had the ability to cope with the demand? :confused: Presumably this Trillian thing still needs to log you on to MSN, so wouldn't help me? :~ Argh!

                                      According to a friend of mine at Microsoft.. "Someone did something REALLY stupid with the Messenger Server Farm" and he would not elaborate... :-D /CMH

                                        I don't know, it would force more people to use decent IM's like Sonork. The main reason why ppl use MSN a lot is because it is easily availiable to windows users.

                                        We brought out this new and very similar version of our expensive software because the old version was......old....It's a good enough excuse for Microsoft so its fine for us.

                                        I use MSN because it is easily available and easy to use. Most of my friends user either MSN or Yahoo! messenger. I didn't particularly like Sonork because it had a terrible UI. Jon Sagara When I want something, I just go out and buy it. That makes me a go-getter. -- My sister

                                          Now, see - that's why you don't work for Microsoft. Not being able to use the software is trivial, there's *piles* of software no-one can use lying around for one reason or another. If in this case people actually *want* to use the software, well then that's free publicity almost, reminding the public that they really *do* want MS software, and so why not go buy more of it, eh? "Major fuck-up" would be more along the lines of MSN Messenger deleting all your files and then launching nukes at your home... ;)
