Screenname with @ in front by Sietse on 10-18-2004 at 07:49 PM

Good day,

I ran across a very strange thing today, it seems that when you put an @ in front of your screenname and use Messenger Plus! (3.20.100) you encounter a very strange effect.

Here are two screenshots to illustrate the issue:

As you can see the @ in front of the name causes the whole 'To:' string to duplicate itself.

Here you can see my name is set to '@Sietse', while the contact list displays it as @sietse, in shot.. my name is uncapatalised, the same effect for other users and in conversations.

I suspect this is a Messenger Plus! issue, so I think I'd best adress it here. :)

P.S. I haven't encountered other users with the same problem, maybe it is caused by the fact I added the key for disabling custom statusses to the registry (e.g. {Having Lunch}).

With kindest regards,
Sietse

no im not saying that at all. i just figured that if the @ sign causes problems at the front it might also be possible it causes problems else where. now then im not sure if this is related but i have a website address in my name too now then when using stuffplug ng i have it set to use links in nicknames now then when im on online status my nickname displays perfectly but when i go to away status and set personalised away messages the end part of the website address isnt part of the link instead it starts just before the @ sign and ends part way through the website address. its possible this issue could be related to raceprouks prob using the @ but im not sure. heres an example

<VOC> DemonSlayer Head Admin @ www.sdtourneys.net 247.5 days till lvl 7

thats my nickname but when im on personalised away status heres whats showing up as a clickable link.
