    - How to allow unlimited number of users of a MSN Messenger bot? I have now used the DotMSN library ( http://www.xihsolutions.net/dotmsn/ ) to write a bot that communicates with an application on my server. This worked fine until the number of users of the bot reached 1500. It seems that the bot is allowed to have only 1500 contacts on its allowed list. I guess this is a limit from the Messenger protocol Is there a way to create a bot with more than 1500 users I bot needs to allow unlimited number of users.. Can someone recommend me a solution to this Is there a library or a supplier which will allow unlimited number of users of the bot Thanks in advance. Tag: MyPopflyProjects.com - Invitation

    - Activity Pane not loading page I am in the process of adding the activity pane to my bot. I get the invite to open the pane and when I accept the pane opens...says connecting briefly and then I get just a blank page...all white. Just wondering the best way to troubleshoot this...currently I'm just trying to have it navigate to www.microsoft.com . If you want to see the behavior the bot is afcichat@hotmail.com just type loadpage to have it execute the page drive. Any ideas would be appreciated. ps: After doing a netmon trace I see the client request Http: Request, GET /7MEAPPSDIR/1 which returns a 301 moved permanently and redirects to Location: http://www.microsoft.com but rather than a get for ms.com I see : Http: Request, GET /p4activity/activity.htm from this host: Host: francois.huet.free.fr I don't know where it got that host name...anyway from there it gets all 304 not modified as a response Tag: MyPopflyProjects.com - Invitation

    - Variable in setCustomIcon ? The Interactive SDK> Customize SHapes>Add Custom shapes example displays the custom icon with the text "Shape" plus it's ID. Here is the source: var icon = "<div style='font-size:12px;font-weight:bold;border olid 2px Black;background-color:Aqua;width:50px;'>Shape</div>"; However, I cant find anywhere in the source where the ID number is added to the word "Shape" that is between the DIV tags. My problem is that I need to use text from another control on the page and place it where the "Shape" word is between the DIV tags, but I cant figure out how . I have tried: pin3.SetCustomIcon("<div><script>document.write(document.getElementById('User2').value);</script></div>"); and to simplify by removing the reference to the other control: pin3.SetCustomIcon("<div><script>document.write('testing');</script></div>"); Both of these scripts work fine in a normal <div> tag but neither works when wrapped inside the SetCustomIcon method. I am hoping that if I can see how the SDK example is adding a variable between the DIV tags, I might figure out a better approach.....uhh...one that works! Tag: MyPopflyProjects.com - Invitation

    - Recording the start and end location of a route. I am trying to record the start and end location of a route. I see that the GetRoute method is supposed to return a VERoute object, and I know that i have to get this information from this object. The question I have is how to actually store the VERoute object that is returned. From the documentation I tried two options, but neither of them work: Option 1: var myRoute = map.GetRoute("Space Needle", "Microsoft", null, null, null; var start = myRoute.StartLocation.LatLong; var end = myRoute.EndLocation.LatLong; Option 2: ... map.GetRoute("Space Needle", "Microsoft", null, null, "onRouteReturned"); ... //later on in the code function onRouteReturned( myRoute ) { var start = myRoute.StartLocation.LatLong; var end = myRoute.EndLocation.LatLong; } I'm also new to javascript, so maybe I am completely off base. Any help would be appreciated. Tag: MyPopflyProjects.com - Invitation

I HAVE A NEW COMPUTER WITH MORE THAN ENOUGH HARDWARE TO RUN VIRTUAL EARTH 3D but while the 2D maps work..the 3D freezes up my computer when I click on it,EXCEPT on rare occasions when for some reason the 3D choses to work. I have checked all the drivers and such..I am a newbie so I don't know all the proper terms and such but I have followed all the directions in the help section for the Virtual Earth program Can anyone put me in touch with Bill Gates...I am sure he would know what to do. I have been around and around on phones to Microsoft with no luck..something is hanging the program up and I would like to know what it is and what I can do to fix this.

    - Why no return value from a Block? Can anyone tell me why the "Test_Rtn" block is not returning a value What am I doing wrong The Mashup that uses it is "Test_for_Test_Rtn". Both the block and mashup are shared under my Popfly user id (DonG). I'm working on a more complex block that refuses to return a value, so I created the Test_Rtn block to simply test return values. I am obviously doing something wrong, but no matter how I code it, it refuses to return a value. Thanks in advance for your assistance with this! [ EDIT: The block and mashup have both been deleted. ] Tag: MyPopflyProjects.com - Invitation

    - Q's, Probs, Bugs - Photo Display Blocks [Moderators: I wasn't sure which forum to post these issues in, so feel free to move the topic to the Bugs forum if you'd rather have it there.] Task: Display all photos from all the photo albums in my Facebook account. My Shared mashup: My_FB_Photo_Albums Bug When I try to add a third Facebook block to get my Facebook account Name , using the getUserInfo function, and adding it's output to the photo display block, only one photo is displayed -- the first photo from the first album. There are a total of 18 photos in two albums available. Since several of the photo display blocks use a "Name" field, it looks like the Facebook block should be modified so that it also returns the photo owner's Name in the getPhotos function, and maybe their Profile URL as well I tried using the Combine block with the Facebook getPhotos block and a third Facebook getUserInfo block, but that did not work. What would be the suggested workaround for this at the present time Bug I've tried every photo display block that MS provides in Popfly, but all of them mangle these Facebook-posted photos to the point where they are really bad . Both, the thumbnail images and the larger size versions, are very blurry and pixelated. You can see the original photos from links on my Profile page ( http://www.facebook.com/profile.php id=709239610 ). It seems that the photo display blocks do not like these JPG images that are compressed at 20% Do the photo display blocks take the image type (file extension) into account before it resizes an image I ask because there are different methods of resizing a photo based on it's type (JPG, BMP, GIF, TIF, PNG, etc.), which attempt to keep quality at it's highest level. Is there any way to get better quality Is there a particular photo format or image size that works well with the photo display blocks Bug When I click on an image or the link to "display original image" (such as in PhotoTiles), a new window opens and displays yet another terrible quality, smaller-than-original, image. Why is the original image not being displayed "as uploaded" (size and quality), like it does from the Facebook View Photos links The new window URL appears to be the Facebook site, but what I see are NOT the images I uploaded . Suggestion In all of the photo display blocks, the text sizes being used in the output displays seems way too big to me. There is barely enough room in most of them to display three or four words , let alone a complete photo caption of two or three lines . I would like to suggest that these blocks allow the user to select a font size, from a pre-defined list of font sizes. From this user-selected font size, the Silverlight code can then select the most appropriate font face, weight, etc. for the specific control (displayed item) being used. By the way, the Carousel block still does not allow some photos to be "brought to the front" of the carousel, as I reported in the Bugs forum a while back. You click photo A but photo B is the one that gets moved to the front. Just happened to notice it again tonight, so thought I'd mention it. Thank you, Tag: MyPopflyProjects.com - Invitation

    - Budget Limit Type: Daily Hi, I just had a talk with a keyword manager who pointed out that choosing Divide daily across month as the spend limit at campaign level doesn't always work. It happened a few times that the budget was spent 3 or 4 days before the end of the month, campaigns were then automatically stopped, to the client's surprise. Could it be possible to have a daily spend limit to ensure full control over how the budget is consumed Is this in your todo list Regards, Julien Tag: MyPopflyProjects.com - Invitation

    - What happened to the Chatter forum? The Windows Live Chatter Development forum has been renamed as Windows Live Controls Development. We did this for two reasons: Most of the questions and discussions on this forums are related to the Contacts Control so the change reflects more accurately the topics discussed here. We have released a new control: the Storage Photos control. We expect the discussions around controls will become even more popular now. For information about the Contacts Control or theStorage Photos Control, visit the dev.live site.

It seems to be OK whenever I have coded this way: <div id='myMap' style="position:relative; width:100%;"></div> and fails to render map at it if changed to be like this: <div id='myMap' style="position:relative; width:100%; height:100%;"></div> In other words, the presence of height in the style results in no map (both IE6 and FF 1.5.0.9).
