I just noticed Windows Live Messenger 8.1 showing the “Pending Request” or “New Friend Request” in a diffrent way.
Instead of the old popup a link was being shown over the info text.
Here is the casual info text we see all the time. (The Customer Experience Link)

It got changed to: “You have 1 pending request”

Clicking the link brings up a list of invites from where we can Accept, Decline, Keep it to decide later or even Block all invites from that user.

I noticed that I also couldn’t view my pending requests from WLM. However, I logged into MSN over the web and into my web mail where I saw a “Spaces” icon. From there, I could actually view my pending requests. I noticed, these pending requests however, had already been completed as these requests had to do with people wanting to add me and I just deleted or declined them since they already existed as contacts. The downside? The WLM screen still shows I have two pending requests even though I technically don’t have any pending requests. Although I work in IT, I am certainly glad it isn’t for Microsoft!

Hey guys, this is an on going problem with msn. BUT! There is a way you can check the pending requests! Go to view your space (it should be the icon that looks like two green and blue hugging right underneath your display name). A page will pop up and it has a link saying “pending requests”, you can view it there :)

Typical half-baked Microsoft rubbish. It won’t work for anyone who has a life and doesn’t drive an SUV, own a big house and sit in one corner at a keyboard 24/7 calculating one’s stock options.
