hi, i jst downloaded plus and i changed my nickname to a coloured one but after i'd done it once it wouldn't let me change it again?! i press ctrl k etc but no colours come up. wots wrong with it?

You need to do it in the instant messaging window (where you speak to others) like this:

/nick {ctrl+k then choose colours} {name here}

without the {} obviously

If that doesn't help, read this:

I think Spikey meant the Personal Message. This also happened to me,  and i dont think theres any way around it except uninstalling plus, edit, then reinstall Plus!

That isn't a workaround at all.

If you want a coloured PSM, you can:
1. Draft it in a convo, and copy-paste it.
2. Use StuffPlug-NG's /xpsm command.
