Issues sending and receiving files

Hello,

Since a few hours ago, I cannot send or receive files, neither see other
people avatars ...when they are out of Spain ( I'm there). With every spanish
contact from my list it works as usual.

I have tried repairing and reinstalling last version of messenger in two
different computers, even when both worked a few days ago, and both still
have the same issue.

Does anyone else have this silly problem?

A bit sleepy and forgot to explain it...

Whenever you send an image you get no message, it just disappears from the
messenger window after a while In the case of any non-image file, you get a
message saying the transfer was cancelled.

RE: Issues sending and receiving files

I've had this same issue sending files, pictures, web cam invites, or game
invites to Colombia for about 3 days now. All these things fail to work. I
live in Utah, USA and have tried reistalling fresh and tried on 3 different
computers in two different cities and all fail. I also have tried with
several different people in latin america and all do not work.

Has this feature been cut off for international use? One weird thing is
Video Calls still work.

Thanks,
Tyler

Greetings,

I don't have specific proof beyond just observations, but I do believe there were some weird
server problems causing this yesterday.

Not seen it happen today.

Re: Issues sending and receiving files

Thanks for checking Jonathan.

However, I am afraid i have been getting the same behaviour since friday and
is still happening right now.

If there is anything you think i could check tell me and i will try it, even
when it could take me a while to answer since we are quite far in time zones
hehe.

Thanks

Hello everyone
I have the same problem now, and I can't think of what it could be.
I am in the U.S. and I was talking with friends in Peru and I can't send files or see their emoticons... what's going on?

Have any of you downloaded aything new or alrtered your settings on Messenger. If you go to options on messenger you can stop any of these actions, so check that they are unclicked.

Not trying to teach my grandmother and all that.....but it's nice to check out the basics first.
