Mac Messenger Display Picture Issues

Hi,

For some reason, on Mac:Messenger, I can not see all my contact's display photos. I see very few of my friend's display photos, all others just display as the green msn man.

I've looked into the cache folder of M:M, and there are a lot of display photos in that folder, which belong to my friends, however they're not showing up in the actual program. I can only see like 10% of my friends's display photos in the application.

I can set my own display photo fine. However, after a certain amount of time, a random time, my photo will stop showing up in the window, and I have to reset my display photo again. The image is 150x150 pixels, and is 147kb. It's a bit annoying.

Anybody know what the problems are here?

Thanks!

 

Leet Apple, which problem are you having issues with? Both?

Anyway, I'm using version 7.0.2, not the beta.

I've also cleared my account history (and lost ALL my custom emoticons whilst doing so!! ) and the problems still exist.

 

I'm pretty sure I've had his problem for like 2 years also (since I got my macbook). I haven't really been that bothered (it is a little irritating) but thought I'd ask as I've been receiving the other issue too. Luckily for me, the few people who I talk to the most, their display photos actually work properly.

Still don't know why my messenger "forgets" my display photo sometimes (and replaces it with a blue msn man), it only seems to be with my new display photo. My other display photos are also .png, and they're roughly the same filesize.

Haha, I've tried Adium, and I really didn't like it that much. The same with aMSN. I don't know what it is about them, I just prefer the "official" Mac Messenger.
