| | LiveID Problems Signing in - 17th January http://emailsupport.spaces.live.com/...708!3892.entry | Hello, Just wanted to let everyone know that we're aware of the problems that users are having logging in and using Hotmail (as well as some other Live ID sites) right now. If you try to login you may recieve a blank page or it may take a long time to complete the log in process. Our Operations engineers are working on the issue, and we will get it resolved as soon as possible. Thanks Brandon -- Stephen Boots MVP Windows Live Windows Live OneCare Forum Moderator sboots@xxxxxx |

Putting up a blog post like that at least lets the readership know that it isn't just them, which is why I posted it to some of the newsgroups last night. It would be nice if they could provide some more details, but that may have been all they knew at the time. :-) -steve -- Stephen Boots Microsoft MVP - Windows Live sboots@xxxxxx |

| | Re: LiveID Problems Signing in - 17th January Hi, For the status to be updated, it has to be a global problem and exist for a good period of time. I have actually seen it change in the past two or three years as opposed to before when it never ever changed. I do some work for an online service which also has a blog and I'm often the one to update it when there's an outage or issue. If the problem can be fixed within a few minutes, it usually doesn't get posted as I'm busy fixing the problem as opposed to writing blog entries. So I can see both sides of the coin. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2008 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "Good News!" <spank@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:uJurG#pWIHA.3400@xxxxxx Quote: > http://status.messenger.msn.com/Status.aspx > > This page is equally as useless.

| | Re: LiveID Problems Signing in - 17th January Hi, I'm sure there's both legal reasons and competitive reasons why that data isn't instant. Even advertisers might be able to use that data to really validate how many people might be seeing their ads which would affect their prices when negotiating with Microsoft...
