MSN Web Messenger

Looks like work has finally blocked it via websense, anybody have trick to get around this?

Just curious.

this has really stifled my productivity

Try E-messenger (http://e-messenger.net/) maybe? Download and install Gaim or aMsn....both are free and they may not be blocked, depending on how IT has blocked msn messaging.

Some will work, others won't. Here's a small list of some you could try.

Does anyone ever have problems with web messenger in that sometimes you'll never get replies from one person and than all of a sudden you'll get a bunch? That happens to me sometimes, and it's so frustrating!

These other sites will help me out though when I'm at school! Thanks

YES!

Happens very often, and it's been happening more then usual.

EDIT: OR what happens is that it shows me that EVERYONE iss offline when im still in the process of talking to them. Like right now, it shows that three of the people im talking to are offline, when really they're not. Oops, I thought this was for regualr MSN. Sorry.

I know this isn't for web messenger but a friend of mine was telling me that she has a plug-in or feature or something on MSN that allows her to minimize MSN while at work so it doesn't look like she's on it.

Does anyone know what that is, how to get it, and if it's available for Windows Messenger?

If you're using Web Messenger, I think you can accomplish the same by opening web messenger in a new tab in Firefox, and then using Ctrl+Tab to hide it when boss comes around. Just make sure not to have something even more incriminating open in the next tab, lol. I'm not sure tho, because the webmessenger domain is blocked at my work, so I can't confirm this, but should work.

Looks like Lisa needs to start using Firefox. 'Bout time.

Sweet thanks!

And Cale...at work, it's not my choice if we have Firefox or not.
