WLM instead of MSNM?
I was wondering if Olympus will have a Windows Live Messenger profile field thing instead of a MSN Messenger profile field (since Windows Live Messenger is the name of the newest version)?
Re: WLM instead of MSNM?
hmm.. interesting point actually.. personally I feel the field should be changed to make the software as futureproof as possible.. AS 3.x line will be around for more than just a number of years and I am guessing MSNM will be phased out within a number of years..

MSN Messenger in phpBB now stands for "Microsoft's New Messenger" when referring to users of MSNM8; and "Microsoft Network Messenger", for those still on MSNM7.5 or less.

I guess someone could just modify it themselves if its that big of a deal or they could just add a new profile field for WLM.

I agree with previous posts, the language strings should be changed to 'Windows Live Messenger' (or WLM for short strings)
Re: WLM instead of MSNM?
why not this : WL/MSN Messenger ?

Re: WLM instead of MSNM?
I'd like to pull this up again, I think we should review this for 3.0.8 or at least 3.1.0

Dude, you've perfected bumping!
On a serious note, definetley should be done for 3.1

Re: WLM instead of MSNM?
For 3.0 it would mean adjusting subsilver2's imageset. To make matters worse, that icon is localized. I'd suggest just putting it in 3.1 instead.
