feat.sugg: custom contact name prefix by thinkamc on 10-05-2004 at 03:21 AM

eh, I have a suggestion for an MsgPlus feature...

You know how there are those certain people on your list who you talk to much more often than others... but if you have a huge contact list, even with groups, it's still hard to spot them sometimes.

And you also know how nicknames are arranged alphabetically and stuff? Well if we could add a prefix to a contact's name, they would appear at the top. Unlike the current feature where you rename the entire contact's name and dont get to see any nickname changes they make... this'll allow you to still see your contacts name PLUS (haha "Plus!") have them appear at the top.

It'd be more convenient than making another group... since i've made way too many groups already it's already getting confusing!

What does everyone think?

Well you could just Make the custom contact name with somthing like "#Bob" to put it at the top. But it wouldn't work because right now the names sort by Email not by Custom Contact Name. So Nice Idea.

I doubt it's posible :-/

i mean changing the orther of contacts is not posible right now (if it was Patchou would have made Custom Names alphabetically arranged)

adding something to the nick, it like changing it, it's like custom names, so it's the same problem :P

Solution: Floating contact on desktop

Solution (but not sure if this is what you want):
Custom Name: (!N) (Cookie's idea ;))
This way you can see your contacts' nicks

but i'm not exactly sure it alphabetises... but one step closer. heh
