Improve Share on the Live Toolbar

Submitted by mjflynt on July 31, 2009 to Aesthetics, Annoyance, Usability

The Share button on the Live Toolbar allows the user to share a webpage with the entire public. It posts updates to every contact in the persons network. Sometimes a shared page is only pertinent to a small set of contacts. For example, a technical article (more...)

Add one more field to the form that displays when you click the Share button. This field will default to everyone or public or just "Shared Favorites", but it will be a dropdown menu that also lists each of the other user defined Shared Favorite (more...)

[Groups] TMI on WL Groups' What’s New list.

Submitted by gregsedwards on March 11, 2009 to Aesthetics, Annoyance

If a group member start’s a new discussion, the What’s New list includes the name of the user, name of the discussion, and the name of the group (e.g., Greg posted Stuff on Group). Outside the group that makes sense, but inside the group, the group (more...)

Inside the context of the group, the update needs to be amended to only include the name of the user and discussion (e.g., Greg posted Stuff). The group name is not necessary inside the group pages.

Bring back Shared Folders

Submitted by mjflynt on March 11, 2009 to Aesthetics, Annoyance, Legacy, Usability

I know you took them out for a reason or whatever. And I know that there is Live Sync. But it took me forever to get my dad to use Shared Folders, and I don't look forward to teaching him something new.

Please integrate Live Sync with Messenger in a way that is similar to how Shared Folders used to work. I believe this has been done with WLPG to sync photos?? I know that we are limited to 20 Synced Folders which won't be enough for most people's (more...)

Allow Linux users to access the full hotmail

Submitted by alphanerd on April 22, 2009 to Annoyance, Legacy, Usability

Whenever I visit Hotmail, I get the light mode. I use Firefox. It's even more annoying when I use Midori (a WebKit browser) and an error saying I should use a different browser, when it uses the exact same engine as safari!

Allow Linux users to access the full mode.

Allow custom order of banner links

Submitted by gregsedwards on March 9, 2009 to Aesthetics, Annoyance, Usability

The Home Profile People Mail Photos More MSN links cannot be customized by the user.

Because different WL audiences have different agendas, you're never going to satisfy everyone with a single standard. Allow each user to define what appears on the "top 5" of their own WL banner. Anything else drops into the More category (more...)

Screensaver won't start when Windows Live Messenger is running

Submitted by huntah302 on March 28, 2010 to Annoyance, Bug

I set the Bubbles screensaver to start after 1 minute, but when Windows Live Messenger is running, no matter how long I leave my computer inactive, the screensaver doesn't kick in, nor does any of the power saving settings for that matter!

Fix the problem.

[Spaces] Decouple the blog from WL Spaces

Submitted by gregsedwards on March 9, 2009 to Annoyance, Legacy, Usability

WL Spaces is required to host a blog. If photos, favorites, and other lists are not inherently part of WL Spaces anymore, then why is your blog?

The blog component should be decoupled from WL Spaces and reorganized under WL Profile and/or SkyDrive, the same way that Photos has be reorganized. Multiple blog support should be added. A link should also be added to the left side of my Profile page (more...)
