Help me "Block" by group, not just by contact
We would really appreciate a "Block Group" feature.
-
-
Figure: Current pop-up menu in Messenger; should include 'Block Group'
-
Help me identify additional information about contacts easily
It would be handy to have additional columns beside each contact so I can see more information about that Contact.
For example, a
City column could show which city a person was in and a Time column could display
the current time for that city.

Figure: MSN Messenger; multiple columns would be nice

Size Of Images In MSN Messenger - * Fixed by Microsoft in Windows Live Messenger
*
When I am having an MSN Messenger conversation with someone, the two images on the
right of the text field appear to be different sizes. The effect is apparently reversed
for the other member/s of the conversation.
The images should appear as the same size.

Paste and send screenshots - * Fixed by Microsoft in Windows Live Messenger *
It would be extremely useful if you could copy and paste images from the clipboard
into an MSN message window. Every day we need to send little screen captures to
colleagues to show what we're talking about, and currently we have to take the screenshot,
save it as an image and send it as a file - very tedious.
-
Store display pictures on MSN's server
Currently, we have the hassle of storing and uploading display pictures on each
different computer we use for MSN Messenger. To eliminate this inconvenience, MSN
should offer to have display pictures stored on their server, so that the picture
is accessible anywhere and at anytime. This way, rather than getting it from the
local machine so that everytime a person logs onto MSN in a different location,
their display picture automatically displays.
-
- Figure: Display pictures should be stored on the
MSN server so they are accessible from anywhere
-
Add "Email selected text" option
Currently, we can send an email by choose the user and select the "Send other -->
Email".
-
-
Figure: Send email by select the "Send other --> Email"

an MSN message window and select "Email selected text".

Inform the user when not enough bandwidth to use it
When you try and use Live Messenger over GPRS (a slow mobile phone connection) it signs in, then out, silently.... and continually.
Then you get messages like:
>Paul Andrew sent 22/05/2008 11:21 AM:
>Hey Adam, why do you keep signing in and out?
(Skype on the other hand works on this connection).
To be clear, it is OK that it doesnt work, it is not OK that it doesnt tell the user something like:
"Live Messenger signed you out because your connection strength was xxx and needs yyy to connect successfully"

Live Messenger - Targetted Ads Please
I would never click on the ads that show on Live Messenger
I am guessing asking for an option to remove the ads is not an option.:)
So help me enjoy the ads, by giving me targeted ads.
-
-
Figure: We need targeted ads. I would never click on this ad
-
Windows Live - Help me avoid moving my mouse to close a dialog
Not sure if everyone will agree with this, but since Facebook is now the standard, please make this dialog (an others go away) after 5 seconds.
Lots of apps need this, so even better would be for the ASP.NET team to give developers a built in control on the toolbox, that does this (using the jQuery timer framework).
PS: I have given up asking the Windows Live team to improve the URL. :)
-
-
Figure: This dialog should auto close after 5 seconds, just like the wonderful facebook User Experience.

I would love to be able to respond when I am offline E.g. in the plane
Skype works better in this scenario.
- Figure: The window is disabled, so I cannot type a response offline, I cannot search my contacts etc.
PS: Do we bother with suggestions like this... now that we have Microsoft Skype?
