Suggestion: Custom Contact Names by lukejmorrison on 09-22-2004 at 11:47 PM

I find myself always wondering what a contact has specified as their name but I also like to view my contacts with the custom contact names that MsgPlus allows you to invoke and when I do this I have to move my mouse over the contact to see what their name currently is.

Would it be possible to format the contact list like this, when using the custom names feature?

Custom name - Contacts Funky Name

i.e.

Andrew Harding (Away) - I'm so crazy about that lady in red... :P :D
Mitch Duff (Busy) - I'm so cool
Cam Rudolf - Peace, Love and Purpose are everything (Y)

Also is it possible to read a users status when they are blocked?
When you have someone blocked you can't tell if they are "away" or in some other status? Just a thought.

Regards,
Luke Morrison

1. You can just keep your mouse over the contact for a few seconds and it will show their "funky name".

2. Not possible.

Ya I know but I'm really lazy and I was hoping for an enhancement like my example...

<Custom Name> - (!N)
