What happened to Signature Sounds on the newest 2009 build 14.0.8050.1202?

Hello,

Just installed the newest Messenger build for Messenger 2009, build
14.0.8050.1202-and the Signature Sounds are missing? Any ideas why it was
removed?

Jeff

I noticed that too. I hope it makes a return. I liked it.

Greetings Jeff,

I haven't heard officially, but I expect it didn't meet the quality/usability testing bar.
For instance, there was a lot of frustration I heard about how long a signature sound took to
start working never mind the bandwidth necessary for it to work.

An alternative explanation is that some higher up at Microsoft went insane after hearing
someone's techno/fusion/death metal repeated over and over as the same people signed in.

Oh rats!

It couldn't have been the rip-roaring fart could it? .....or the Stripper
theme.....or maybe someone took a dislike to the sound of explosions <vbeg>

Oh well, I guess I can't "shake my booty" anymore either ;-)

Re: What happened to Signature Sounds on the newest 2009 build 14.0.8050.1202?

I liked the Signature sounds so i want em back ... and for those who did not, why not just turn them off. And bandwidth issues?

And I'd like to see an in application volume control for the soundeffects (and signature sounds)... that is separeted from the voice com stuff.

I'm more irriteted by the fact that all the new chat windows allways pop-up automatically on recieving a message ... that's annoying.
Why can't Messager just indicate i have a message from a contact and let me chose when to view the chat dialog???


//Want my signature back ...
