Is anyone else having problems with Messenger tonight?

[hallucienate]

yup, all day in fact

I'm now logged in, but none of my contacts appear to be, not even the ones who usually are

Vistiting http://messenger.msn.co.za/ gives me this:

Server Error in '/' Application.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Runtime Error
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.

Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".


<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>


Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.


<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>

This'll be the problem:

MSN Messenger, Microsoft's instant message service, is back up and running this morning after a routine maintenance operation went wrong, rendering the service sporadically unavailable for three days.

A glitch, which created problems logging onto the service from Saturday afternoon until Monday evening, appeared following routine maintenance. A Microsoft spokesperson told El Reg that the glitch was nothing to do with a worm capable of spreading via MSN Messenger yesterday. Reports from anti-virus firms on the worm, dubbed Funner, support this conclusion.
