WTF have Hotmail done!

**The Gentleman Scamp** · 24-09-2007, 10:21 AM

I loathe the new MSN/Hotmail layout, it took me five minutes to find one of my contacts, there is no longer a box to tick to save sent messages, the 'Find' button is nowhere to be seen and it seems to have merged with every other MSN application.

Is this the case with every other Hotmail user here, is it something I can change so I can go back to the trusted original format and skin?

Some things are best left untouched.

I have a Gmail account but don't use it because over the past 7 years everyone has got to know my Hotmail account, besides I will have to spend hours/days moving all my contacts over there.

Also, there's nothing that pisses me off more than somebody with more than one email address.

Have you tried clicking on "switch to classic" ?

I'll start to look for it, cheers if it works.

Hotmail always was and always will be complete bollocks. Email for numpties.

**kingwilly** · 24-09-2007, 11:50 AM

^ erm, not hours, not days.

about 2.7 minutes to export and import as a CSV file

Set hotmail to forward all your mail to gmail and then you can do everything from gmail

A little direction would be appreciated Thet.

(Switch to classic and move to G-mail)

**kingwilly** · 24-09-2007, 12:08 PM

"switch to classic" is on the bottom left of my logon page

Mail forwarding is in "options" and then "more options" and listed under 'manage your account'

**The Gentleman Scamp** · 24-09-2007, 01:19 PM

Hmm - all I got is this, and it wasn't like you said either.

I wouldn't mind if I could have the classic and THEN change it to a nice burgundy but I bet those thick ****s are too busy trying to be better than Apple than to think of that.

**Thetyim** · 24-09-2007, 02:14 PM

^ your options page is completely different from mine
Are you in 'classic view' ?

**The Gentleman Scamp** · 24-09-2007, 02:22 PM

Can't find any 'Classic View' only customizing options.

(Hello Gus, I see you down there - I'll be out with a beer in a minute)

I can't even open the Feedback page, can anybody please give me a contact email for Hotmail HQ, I am furious at their silly fucking makeover and then having the nerve to keep asking "What do you think, what do you think?" they are obviously very pleased with themselves.

MtD, I hope you see where all this is going with Scampy,
1st he's still with hotmail,
then he uses safari browser,
then he'll prolly tell ya
he backs things up on 1.44 floppy,
and is on 28k dial-up going through a pabx
and instead of running XP pro he has some arcane dos called OSX with
some weird wild animal name like leopard or some such shite...

please cease and desist for your personal safety and sanity MtD!

**The Gentleman Scamp** · 25-09-2007, 11:43 AM

I am on Safari (Mac internet, not touring Kenya) - maybe I have special needs.

(Like KW)

**El Gibbon** · 25-09-2007, 12:09 PM

Jeesus scampy are you daft or just fuckkin lazy?

Lower left of your opening screen. As for your 'contacts' go to the options tab and click on "more options", you can do whatever you like...

Sometimes I wonder........
