" * What's new For Free Hotmail?
* MSN Hotmail Inbox Storage is now 250 MB and there is an increased attachment size of 10 MB!"

Anybody able to enlighten me on this? Is it really referring to the paid subscription? Or is it free providing you get a new account???

chrismon

its never works properly for more than 2 weeks :rolleyes:
but what can u expect,

PurpleFistMixer

Well it does say it's free...
But, just use gmail for storage anyway...

And also, damn MSN being down. People need to use AIM, that's what they need to do.

tSubh Dearg

Took a while to get logged in, then I got kicked out, then logged in again, got kicked out. Back in again at the moment. I think there might just be a pattern emerging.....

JackKelly

not working for me either

Aoibheann

finally it has started working for me. *is happy*

I used to use ICQ for a while, but they seem to have gone downhill after AOL got their hands on them.

Judging by the step to get the 250MB inbox you need to be in the US?? What sane reason do they have for that???

Back on topic... still no joy from MSN here.

Piste

Yay it's back up. Adn there was me getting AIM all for nothing.......*shakes head*

billy the squid

msn working fine for me at the moment

PurpleFistMixer

I hate you all.

Piste

Of FFS, Messenger is Down again. Thank God I d'led AIM, pity hardly any of my friends have it....

Shrimp

Msn.......................... Meltdown...

SpooN_9k

knew it was too good to last...

billy the squid

was working grand until i posted here haha

this thread is cursed.

Piste

Oh dear god, it must be the end of the world, my other form of communication, livejournal is down as well.......at least I still have my mobile....wait....IV'E NO DAMN CREDIT!

PurpleFistMixer

Use PM on boards!
And, livejournal is fine for me.

God damn it. AIM is now not wanting to log in. Were it not for my disjointed boards wandering in the absence of MSN, I'd think I've been disconnected from the entire internet...

Piste

Lj working for me now as well. Methinks I'm jinxed.

Lump

Down again for me... And I have friends that dont post on boards tbh

John

seamus

I was wondering why it was trying to sign in for about 20 minutes.

Actually, the problem would seem to be http://messenger.msn.com. Red faces in MSN tonight...
