it might not be a bug but i have noticed that the sponsor on the bottom of the main msn screen is always there tried getting rid of it but nothing just wondering if you could get rid of this one for me.

also is there away of getting rid of some of the formatting bar icons becuase i will never use them. would be nice to get rid of the

Font, emoticon, background, and the little prezzie thing.

Thanks For your help, Ths is the nuts of an add on to MSN Messenger, Keep up the good work!

Patchou has decided not to include "hide adbanner" anymore, see 'MSN advertisement banner' removal

Adbanners:
You can either wait for Stuffplug NG 2 to come out (beginning februari..more info) or use MessPatch.

Note: patching MSN Messenger infringes Microsoft's Terms of Use, use at own risk.

Asfar as i know there is no way to remove Font, Emoticon, Background and Pack buttons seperately.

The adbar can only be hidden by a patch. Patchou has his reasons for removing the ad-hide feature (search the forums: shouldn't be hard to find).

As for hiding formatting options, you can hide the bar. Press Alt to show the menu bar, then select Tools > Show Toolbars. You can also turn off the icons at the top.

As for removing them one by one: I don't think anyone's written anything to do that yet.

ok not to worry i managed to find a skin from mess.be that did the adbar and the single icons still no idea, but thanks anyway
