Live Messanger--DISPLAY PICTURE?!! HELPPPP!

okay, so i have live messanger. i dont know what version it is, i looked and
looked but i cant find it. according to the live messanger blog page, the
newest version has rock paper and sissors in the games menu, i have that, but
the post before that, says that it has a new rabbit icon. that, i do not
have. so i dont know what version i have.. so yeah.. um, anyways,
today, i clicked on the little popup thing that tells you to update
messenger. after that, it was all good, until i wanted to change my display
picture. i'd just taken 5 or so new pictures and so i went to browse, and
clicked them all to add them. i clicked one of the pictures and all was fine,
until i opened the window to change my display picture again. as you should
know, the list usually is in order of oldest to newest, the newest being the
ones i just added should have been on the bottom, but, of course they were
not. here is my problem. my 5 new pictures were scattered among my long list
of pictures, and i can NOT, for the life of me, figure out what happened. why
did they suddenly rearrange my display pictures in such a random order?! ive
tried looking for a patten, trying to figure how they sorted my pictures, but
i CANNOT! its not by name, date, size.. so is it just me?? what can i do?!!!!
its a terrible pain to have to scroll through so many pictures having no hint
whatsoever where it could be! pleaseeeee HELP!!

Greetings,

The rabbit is only in version 8.5, which is in beta and only available from a particular
link.

From what you're describing, it sounds like you just upgraded to 8.1 which yes, does
re-arrange your display pictures, emoticons, and winks in a random fashion.

I'm afraid there's no real solution besides hunting.

And yes, it sucks.
