• kovnat BOTS on MSN

  There have been a number of questions about BOTS in the forum in various theads so I thought I would provide this post with a broader update on the topic. MSN has recently started licensing BOTS on the network.  The huge benefit of a licensed BOT is that it will have contact limitations removed (the reverse list), so that millions of people could connect to the same ID.  Our goal is to enable a broad network of these IM applications ...Show All

  I use getRecentPosts to get my posts, but the maximum value is just 20.

• Sam Jarawan MSFT V8 Beta

  What do people think of Beta 8 I agree with PJ on just about everything. I could do without the shared folder feature because AIM already has that. There are only two reasons I use MSN messenger and neither have anything to do with the client. If I had it my way I would only use AIM since it uses less than half the resources of messenger. The one thing that is still missing from MSN is the abiltiy to have more ...Show All

• Alex1123123 Todd @ Devdays in Amsterdam question (about bots on MSN)

  Hi Todd, On the devdays confernce today in Amsterdam you mentioned that to make a bot on MSN you could either go through the Partners, or you could also talk directly through MSN (but have some limitations then) and parse the send strings yourself. Now browsing the forums and the messages about the Bots I see no where mentioned that you can also do it yourself WITHOUT using these partner platforms. Could you clarify how and where I coul ...Show All

• Bugge cant get ride of packaged msngr

  Hi, I am having some problems with my new system, XP Media, dealing with the mesenger that comes packaged and msn 7.0   I can not seem to get the packaged version to stop loading. I cant even find it to turn it off. I have to manually turn on 7.0, which does not bother me, but it takes longer because the built in msngr is taking its sweet time loading in the background. Appearantly it does not turn completely off after I load 7.0  ...Show All
