[Messenger] Contact list scroll position follows selected contact

Submitted by cowdozer on June 8, 2009 to Annoyance, Bug

Scenario: I double-click my friend "Peter" on the Windows Live Messenger contact list to talk to him. Until I do something else with the contact list, Peter is the active item in that list (denoted by a blue highlight). If Peter goes offline (more...)

Inactivate the selection of a contact if they go offline, or possibly something else. Just please do not change the position the contact list is at due to status changes of my contacts.

[Messenger] Photo Sharing

Submitted by cowdozer on June 8, 2009 to Annoyance

When sharing photos in Windows Live Messenger, an in-window slideshow occupies the majority of the message window and cannot be resized. Only a couple of lines of conversation can be seen at a time.

Allow vertical resizing of the slideshow pane.

Alternatively, show pictures in a different window altogether, or in a pop-out section much like games are done.

[Messenger] Allow typing into message windows when offline

Submitted by cowdozer on June 8, 2009 to Annoyance

When intermittently disconnected (Offline) from Windows Live Messenger, typing into message windows is disabled.

If one is using a weak wireless network, this may happen every few minutes, and become very irritating having to wait for Messenger (more...)

Do not disable input into message windows when disconnected. Notify the user that they are offline and can't actually send messages another way, such as disabling the send button.
