Contacts Pic in Main MSN Window

Hi, I am not sure why I cannot see my contacts pics in the main window (as in
the list of contacts). Now all I see if MSN little green men with my
contact's name next to that. I had much rather when I was able to see a
little icon of my contact's pic next to their name (instead of the little
green men). Does anyone know what I am talking about? Is this an option I
missed? How do I get my contacts pics in the main window back? Thanks in
advance for any help.

Greetings JoJo,

This feature was removed in Windows Live Messenger from the non-details view. To get it
back, you'll have to turn the details view on.

You can do so by opening the main contact list, then click the "Sort your contacts" icon
which looks like two arrows to the right of the 'Find a contact or number' field. Then
choose Show Contacts' Details and you should have them.

OMG Jonathan thank you so much!!!! I missed that feature so much. It use to
be in the contacts section under the options so automatically I looked for it
there in this new messenger. I looked for it everywhere (obviously not where
i was suppose to though). I never even ventured into the two opposite green
arrows.

Again, thank you so much!

JoJo

Hi JoJo,

Great! I know how difficult it is to find; it's well hidden and yes, I've complained about
it.
