emoticons shortcuts beginning with / by gdumitresco on 04-14-2005 at 12:31 PM
hi
I'm a player of Ragnarok Online and I use some game built-in emoticons in messenger, and to keep it easy to use, I decided to use the same shortcut for them, but all of them use / before, like /heh (the attached one), but plus try to recognize as command even if messenger already recognized as an custom emoticon, giving me an annoying warning when I send the message.
I already tried to replace the / with a . but it's kind of boring having to remind myself where I should put . instead of /
Just a point: the emoticon shortcuts aren't even close to any plus command.
I wonder, could I wait for fix for that?

Another possible way around this rather than typing .heh is keeping the shortcut as /heh but typing two /'s before your thing, so for example typing //heh, this will show your emoticon and (in case your wondering) no /'s will be shown before your message.
This isnt a solution but i find that typing // is alot easy and quicker (and youll probably find easier to get used to and remember to do) than to relearn to type a .
A further (and more extreme) option is to go to Plus! > Preferences > Instant Messages > Commands and Tags and then uncheck the box "Allow the use of commands and tags" however in my opinion this removes alot of plus!'s functionality and is a rather drastic way to get around this, i would only really recommend this if your emoticons are more important to your IMing than plus!

Or, set up a QuickText for /heh which replaces it with .heh, the emoticon shortcut.

thanks for all suggestions, but the double / it's easier for now
I also hope it's easy for Patchou to "fix" it
