Does anyone know of a plug in that changes the way conversations are laid out to make them similar to mIRC? For example:

[22:34:45] <Luke> Hello
[22:34:50] <Dave> Bite me.

It would basically involve getting rid of the "Says:" bit, and adding the message onto the same line as the username. Also, it would need to work with custom names/time stamps.

So has this been done already? If not, is it possible?

Thanks in advance

it isn't possible (yet) to change a message send by some1 else.
SO i don't think this is possible :0

well u can use stuffplug ng (www.stuffplug.com) for the timestamps, then u change ur nick to <your_nick> *ctrl+k* and select white or the color of ur backgroud (using the /nick2 command i think) to make the "says:" part invisible, and then u can use custom names to change ur contacts names...

There, u can do it that way though the messages would still be "in a new line" , its the best solution i can think off

Yeah I know, that's the setup I have at the moment (apart from the white bg), but I want it more for the purpose of copy & pasting. I just think it looks a lot neater on one line :/

Thanks though Is it not possible at all to change the way the conversations are formatted?

I tried asking it nicely, I'm all out of ideas

Like TB said you can edit the msglang.dll file located in your program files\msn messenger

In the string table you want to edit the %1 says:\n to "<%1> " (without the quotes)

Thats all I will say as changing resources in MSN Messenger is illegal. Also I had removed the word says: once and it caused problems with Messenger Plus!.

If you want to zip and upload your msglang.dll file I will fix it for you, so its your choice.

Edit: Thanks TB, I didn't realize the mistake, I am at work and type to fast and never pay any attention when I type.

Oh well I just think it looks a lot neater and more proffessional, like trillian.

Thanks anyway though people.

*edit* Thanks Matty, but I don't think it's worth the risk, I'm already getting a runtime error with messenger as it is, don't want to make things worse!
