hey guys i have been using msn plus for over 2 years now and its one of my favorite programs, and i have been viewing the forum for about a year, i was thinking of a plug in where u can change your friends screen name by using a command like the /nick but of course with their permission something that would ask them and then change it. i dont think it would be too hard for you guys since u already made the one for the local pc. i undrestand the other user would have to have the plug in.

thanks in advance

Hiya,

Welcome to the forums!

First of all, its Messenger Plus, but don't worry about it. And you can change your contacts name on YOUR list by doing: Plus>Preferences>Contact List>Custum Contact Name....
But, you can't change there custum name on there end, that would be an invasion of there privacy.


Select the contact and put there name.

no i mean like change their online name as everyone on their list would see the name u changed for them

Tis okay, It don't make you rude. Please use the Edit button instead of double posting!

ok sorry, but what do u think of my idea?

I think it might be good, but it would be an invasion of privacy. As for what if they put something up that is rude? That would make me mad.

thats what i said in the begining, it asks them first lets say

themafia_69 would like to change your screen name to "Hello" would you like to change your screen name yes alt+C no Alt+x something like that

A very weird and dodgy idea

Why don't you just ask them to change it by asking them politely.

i know they have to install the plug in too, thats what i said at the top of my post, but its better than telling them, they might be to lazy or other reasons

Well, asking them to change their nick is better and more polite imo.

I don't want a window pops up asking me to change my nick to "Stupid jackass" while I'm chatting.
And there's a possiblity of flooding the contact there.

not a popup, in the conversation while your talking to a friend, like a file being sent

I think the idea would be cool! I mean my name never changes.... just because I can never think of anything else to change it to, but if people are willing to come up with good name changes and all I have to do it hit accept or deny then it would be cool.  I tend to get really busy as well and  sometimes I changed my name to something just happening for today and I forget to change it back and normally I find out when if bugs the fuck out of my roommate and he is like change your name already...... There would have to be a block contract for it though, because we all know what happens late at night when your IM buddy has had a few to many beers or up to long and just feels like bing a dick.

if they want u to change ur name, y dont they just tell u what to change it to?

I mean ok not a bad idea... (hmmm) but I would not like people to keep sending me requests to change my name it frankly would piss me off lol.

So i think this aint that good (sorry) just my opinion lol. If someones screen name is annoying you ether ask them to change their name or give them a custom one.

im sorry to be so rude, but you guys cant read, because we already stated that if they keep pissing you off, then u can stop letting them bug u, READ EVERYTHING  before u reply ALL OF UR POSTS are contradicted in my first post, god

OK, I am willing to do this: I'm trying to become a bit better at VBScript, and I have a feeling this should be possible (could be that it's not, I don't know yet, but I'll find out). I'm only doing this as an excersise, and it may take a while, but I'll start tomorrow mornig.

And for all of you who think: "VBScript, WTF", you'll need this (3rd post in the thread).

Don't see this as a promise, but I'm going to try.

thanks man, for trying to help out!

see my friend just asked me what should i change my screen name to, gimme a name to change it to

mod: double post.

Here you go
