Live Messenger Not Adding Contacts Properly
talking to them on the phone and they said they added me, and that I
added them back, but neither of us were getting notifications from the
other to accept the add so they can see when I am online and vice
versa. They and I can be online at the same time and it shows them as
offline, and there display name is just their email address. I never
added this person before nor had they had me added at any point and
time, so we weren't just making that mistake.
Also on a seperate occasion I accidently deleted a friend from my list
and later he messaged me and it came up as his email saying
he was messaging me and wasn't in my contacts list and to "click here"
to add him to my contacts list, and I would do so, but it wouldn't add
him properly, it was showing him as offline when I knew he was online
because he was talking to me.
Out of a hunch that it was Live Messenger screwing up because this
never happened before, I uninstalled Live Messenger and installed the old 7.5 Version,
and the first time I logged in I had 4 notifications pop
up to add people that had added me, I added them, and everything worked
fine.
I than started missing some of the features of Live Messenger that MSN
Messenger just didn't have, as well as a new version of Live messenger
had come out, so I assumed maybe you guys fixed it, but I uninstalled
old MSN Messenger and reinstalled Live Messenger, and those same
contacts that I had added before when I had Live Messenger (that didn't
work) are now showing as offline, and just as email addresses and not
their public display name again
Can I get any help please?
