    MSN messenger conspiricy for mac users

    yet another unusual thing is happening to my msn messenger

    a while ago the hotmail website stopped working for safari users, and now msn messenger for the mac signs out every two minutes without telling me its done so!

    it gets really frustrating when your having a convo, they think your ignoring them by goiing offline and you think there just plainly ignoring you.

    please if anyone knows how to resolve this issue id be very pleased - its driving me up the wall

    My flatmate has this problem - he wasn't sure if it was the network, or his computer, or what.

    I'll let him know it's not an isolated incident.

    Don't worry its been happening a lot as of late and I am on a windows machine, don't think its just a mac issue Although the mac in the office here seems to be suffering the same issue

    Definately prefer Adium, I hate Microsoft's own MSN program on windows and mac so I use alternatives.

    wife uses adium now. Did notice with a mac when it 'goes to sleep' it signs you out, but on a pc, it doesn't.
