    I was annoyed that I could not find a way to wrap lines of test in communicator, decided to leave feedback and was sent here - Now I am really annoyed!  Why can't you have an "email to someone who cares" feedback like everyone else?   And, BTW, how does one turn on wrap lines to window?

    I get HTTP 400 Bad Request when signing in to the forums, can someone please look into that? That is the "Lync Clients Forum" link above, at the top of this page. Thanks, David PS: I want to post a question "How to change the name used in the default voice mail greeting?"

    Any chance anyone can take a look at the following Microsoft Technet Forum posting. social.technet.microsoft.com/.../6c31d76c-cfc1-4e4c-b659-e6196747cbf8 Lync Mobile Clients for iOS Phones not iPads may require a version update for the entire world.

    Work for a telecommunciations company and use communicator. What I would like to see is something that allows you to join a current meeting as opposed to having to have someone invite you should you leave.  Thank You.

    How do we submit feature requests?  The way the Lync client handles web based content, like URL shortcuts or pasting from the clipboard is horrible.  At a bare minimum you should have the option to "paste as plain text"!

    Hmmm, I click the link Give Us Feedback Online in Communicator and I get taken to this blog. How useless and trendy of you! Why don't you put your efforts into making Communicator work correctly instead of into adding new features and coming up with new names? Oh that's right, you're Microsoft.

    Am I to understand that Office Communicator is now referred to as "Lync"? Is this also a suggestion that MS will probably not be doing any updates for OC? Well, I'd like some way to hide offline contacts in my contact list. Please and thanks!

    When you are trying to copy something within the IM you are unable to double click the item or if you click and drag to highlight you get more than you want..

    Hey guys. Just tried out the Tabbed Conversations app (lync.microsoft.com/.../Tabbed-Conversations.aspx). Love it, except for one issue: the numeric keypad doesn't activate automatically when hitting the numbers on my keyboard. Very irritating as we need to enter a PIN when dialling out. Could you fix this?

    Yes, this app bites.  Not much more to say about it.  Must have been developed with agile, and 15 different globally dispersed teams all trying to talk to one another at 3am in their own time zone.   Dear MS, you get what you pay for!  No reason for us to upgrade to this, let alone no reason for us not to go shopping for something else.  Please note the long long list of basic usability requirements from Nathaniel mentioned in his earlier post.

    Hi, Office communicator should have import/export contact list feature in the 2007 version. I do not know, whether the 2010 version has it or not, but 2007 should be backward compatible and have the same features. Thanks

    Some annoyances are listed below:

  • If I am chatting somebody while sharing the screen and degugging on Visual Studio 2010, communicator stops working. I cannot chat and debug at the same time.
  • Communicator shows green all day long. I only notice that I am somehow disconnected from it when a co-worker sends an email saying that I am showing offline or when I try to chat and everything I type is returned in red.
  • In the middle of the chat if VPN gets disconnected and reconnected, I can no longer "Save as email"

    I entered the email address for my group, but every single one comes up "Presence Unknown". I don't know what they need to do to be able to use the chat function. I don't know what I did!

    SORTING CONTACTS It would be very helpful if contacts could be sorted alphabetically (in one big group, rather than being divided into groups of (i) available/busy, (ii) away, and (iii) logged out). Why should you have to trawl through three separate lists to find someone's name?? It would save sooo much time if all contacts were grouped into one list.

    Will we be getting the option to "save as email"  like Office Communicator did ?   Will Lync be linked to Outlook calendar to advise when you're "in a meeting" like Office communicatior did?

    I would like to know if there is a way to use Communicator as tool for workload status. I.E. I am not busy and need some work to do. How could I advertise that to my contacts visually. I thought of a different color presence button, or creating a note in the change sign-in address that would appear. Any ideas?

    Our company has just switched over to this instead of Communicator 2007.  This IM is awful! It shuts down every time someone sends me a message.  Having a functioning communicator is an important part of my job, as I need to interact with several members of my work team all across the building, some even from their homes.  This has not proven to be a stable program and I am currenly very dissatisfied.

    It is possible to connect Lync with SAP CRM e.g. Customer Interaction Center. How can this look like? And does anyone have experience in this context. Thanks
