URL as a display name by whiteshadow on 10-29-2005 at 08:49 AM
Hi
I just wanted to know if there was any way to have a clickable link to a website as a display name in MSN Messenger, such as the two examples below.
Google
www.google.com
Thanks

Well, I thought that if you install Stuffplug, then only you can click on them. It doesn't make URLs clickable to your contacts, they need Stuffplug as well.
....or am I wrong?

Anyways with MsgPlus you can already click links in names (from the contact list). If someone has a link in their name or psm, rightclick > messenger extra's and choose "open internetlink" (this option will appear if there is a full link). So if your contacts have Plus! they can already click the link you set..without additional plugins

The reason I was asking is because one of my contact's uses the Mac version of MSN Messenger and one of his contact's display names is a clickable link. I'm sure he doesn't have MSGPlus either.

Asfar as i know there's isn't anything for MSNM only, and Plus! does not work on Mac..so plugins are out of the question too.
I guess the best thing your friend can do is type over the url or message that contact so the url will display in the conversationwindow for easier copying and pasting.
