In previous versions, Messenger Plus! used MSN's default alert sound when they displayed toasts.  In this version the alert sound isn't used.  A toast pops up with no sound.

Also, if you try to use the sound notification feature, you can't select the alert sound because they are in .wma format, but Plus! doesn't support that (or it's not in the drop down menu).

Edit: Nevermind, I just copied and converted the alert file to .mp3 format and am using that.

Because Windows Live Messenger truncates nicknames in pop-ups for "XXX has just signed in." and can't show colors in nicknames properly because of incompleted BBCodes, I disabled it to pop-up from WLM Options, and created a new Event Notification for Sign-in, and wanted to assign the old sound "online.wma". But I couldn't select it from inside the MSN Messenger folder, because it didn't list any sound in the "Select a sound" window. I typed the exact name 'online.wma' and wanted to preview it but it said me "Messenger Plus! can't play this sound format". However I set it like that and when someone came Online, Messenger Plus! played the sound so in fact it supports .wma format. Important note: I have disabled also "Contact Online" sound inside WLM's Options. So lets add .wma format to the drop-down menu.
