Error 81000314 - temporarily unavailable

Hey,

Got this message whilst using Windows Live Messenger 8.0.0566 saying that
the Messenger service is temporarily unavailable... however this just seems
to be my account and that's it. Other accounts sign in fine, and there's
been nothing said of any problems on the Network Status site.

Anybody got any ideas? I've tried signing in on 4 different machines with my
account and nothing, and it's 8 hours into the problem now.

Thanks )

I have got the same problem. I use my sister's account and that works very
well.
But then I use my own account it fails. I tried Windows Messenger and that
is just the same.

Ahh OK - I've just this minute managed to login to WLM (after about a minute
of it signing in) but it seems to be going relatively OK.
Thanks again Jonathan, and nice to see you here again )
