Add a contact slider to messenger to resize our contacts on the fly

Submitted by .Chris on March 6, 2009 to Aesthetics, Annoyance, Icons, Usability

Why must we use a ugly old dialog box thats really dated just to resize the contacts? Let alone the old fashond way, of clicking radio buttons, clicking apply and clicking ok, just to see changes? Introduce a slider, much like the ones found in the vista/7 (more...)

I don't know why you did it this, way but make the next verson like this,

MSN Toolbar or Windows Live? Just have ONE

Submitted by .Chris on March 6, 2009 to Annoyance, Usability

Why the need for two toolbars from you guys?

http://toolbar.us.msn.com/

(more...)

Merge both, ditch one (or both)

Note, I prefer the MSN design. I cant stand the ugly white and icon less crap your pulling. There is such thing as "too much clean"

Remove the extra "window" in the "live preview" in messenger (Windows 7)

Submitted by .Chris on March 6, 2009 to Annoyance, Bug, Usability

My guess is this "extra window" is really the systray icon that was removed from the tray in windows 7.

I'm sure theres a way to work around this , you just need toi develop something

Bring back time line view in Windows Movie maker, as an optional view for those who want it.

Submitted by .Chris on March 6, 2009 to Annoyance, Usability

In the new verson of movie maker, you seem to have removed time line view, the most critical part of a "movie making app" (how can you edit a movie with out knowing the exact time frame you are at the moment?)

So to make everyone happy, just add back Time Line view. Have it as a secondary "view" mode, so those who dont want to move to the new view can go back to the old view.

This,may bring movie maker, the most "popular" (more...)

ask user if they would like to join a group. Don't automatically add users to a group without their consent

Submitted by .Chris on March 6, 2009 to Aesthetics

If you've used the groups feature on messenger, you'll know what I'm talking about. You always get added to a group, even if you dont want to be in it at the moment!.

Do not have the user automatically be added to a group without their consent . Just because they are a member there, doesn't mean they want to be in the group every time they are logged in to messenger.

Admin console in groups on messenger

Submitted by .Chris on March 6, 2009 to Usability

This is an idea for an improvement to groups in messenger. Have an admin console. From here, the "admin" or group owner, can control group settings, such as open/closing, the option to "bounce" (or kick out) a member for a set amount (more...)
