Bugs in 14.0.8089.726

Version - 14.0.8089.726
Host OS - XP SP2

Does anybody have any solutions to the following issues :-

1. Display Picture size in the chat window - you set the picture to 'small',
yet it reverts to large in the next session - VERY annoying indeed.

2. The auto-adjust on the mic volume keeps dipping for both talkers, much
worse than with the older 8.5 client. Sometimes talkers cannot hear the other
person, and it takes a while to come back up, sometimes this seems totally
random - can this be totally disabled because it's quite bad and if there is
no solution then it will be time to use a different IM.

More as I find em.

Would be nice to have a fully de-bugged IM client if all users are being
forced by MS to update to this version.

Greetings,

1. It doesn't save this setting anywhere, so it doesn't restore it.

2. I don't think you can turn this feature off, but I could be wrong (and would be happy to
be).

Hi Jonathan,

Re #1, maybe you could mention to the dev team about allowing the user to
save the display picture size setting. I'm guessing the older clients just
defaulted to the small setting then. At the moment I have to keep changing it
in every session as it's just too large.

Perhaps the display picture could be swappable between left or right side in
the chat window too, give the user some customization choices perhaps.

Another good idea is playing new message sounds even when a window is in
focus, like in other IM clients, this is useful to some people and would only
require a tick box choice for those who want/do not want it.

Thanks.

Guys further to this, i do not have a problem with auto adjust in vista with
messenger but using my other computer with win7 it is VERY ANNOYING!
Messenger keeps readjusting the mic level and people cant hear me even
though i disabled the reduce thing from the sound communication settings!

So could this be a win7 problem or messenger?
