[Messenger] Show a different status to different groups/categories

Submitted by jamiet on March 8, 2009 to Usability

At the moment every one of my messenger buddies sees the same status (e.g. Online, Away, etc...)

I sometimes want to appear offline to certain people whilst appearing online to others (e.g. When at work I only want work colleagues to see (more...)

I would like the ability to define a status per category/group.

[Profile] if a person doesn't have any photos, don't show me a link to their photos

Submitted by jamiet on March 8, 2009 to Annoyance, Usability

Every person’s profile has a link to their photo albums, even if they don’t have any photos. What’s the point in that?

If they don’t have any photos don’t show me the link!!!

[Spaces] URLs should be human-readable

Submitted by jamiet on March 8, 2009 to Aesthetics, Annoyance, Usability

Our blog entry URLs need to be human readable rather than some nonsensical code (e.g. http://jamiethomson.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!550F681DAD532637!8892.entry)

Put words into the URLs rather than nonsensical code (e.g. http://jamiethomson.spaces.live.com/blog/Laundry_list_of_wants_for_Windows (more...)

Update Personal Status Message on home.live.com without a postback

Submitted by jamiet on April 1, 2009 to Usability

If I change my status at profile.live.com it does it without a postback, meaning its a lot quicker.
The behaviour isn't the same at home.live.com which requires TWO postbacks.

Please make the home.live.com behaviour the same as profile.live.com

[Hotmail] "Delete the message" option as well as "Return to message"

Submitted by jamiet on March 8, 2009 to Usability

Whenever you send a reply to an email you get a page offering you the option to "return to message". I'm a very keen pruner of my inbox hence I often return to the message just to delete it.

It would be nice if there were a "delete the original message" option on that page as well. It would save me a mouse-click

[Groups] Let me subscribe to a group discussion thread

Submitted by jamiet on March 8, 2009 to Annoyance, Usability

Currently the only way to know if someone has replied to a Group discussoin thread that I have previously left a message on is to visit the group at http://groups.live.com

Let me subscribe to a thread (perhaps via alerts.live.com) so that i can choose how and where to be notified about an update to the thread.

[Groups] [Mail] Live Mail to be offline reader for group discussions

Submitted by jamiet on March 8, 2009 to Usability

There is no offline reader for Group discussions.

Live Mail is already a very good NNTP client. I'd like to see that extended to be a client for Live Groups discussion boards as well.

I don't give a monkey's if the underlying transport is NNTP/Mesh or whatever - I just want (more...)

[Groups] Group discussion threads need to be threaded

Submitted by jamiet on March 8, 2009 to Usability

Messeges in a discussion thread appear in time order which means you can't see whom has replied to whom

There are a multitude of possible improvements for Groups following the recent v1 release though probably the most obvious is to make the discussion forums threaded (a la an NNTP client).
