Custom Contact Names on Messenger Plus Live! by kaparmar on 07-04-2006 at 03:40 PM

This was one of the most useful features for me! Does anyone know if I it can still be done on Messenger Live!?

Thanks;

This has been asked countless times. No, the 'nickname' feature has been removed because WLM has one itself. However, there is the possibility of the feature making a comeback in a future release of MP!L.

Well, Sorry I tried searching through the forum for this but obviously was unsuccessful. Where can this be done!? Becuase I went through the Options, etc. and couldn't find anything :(

Thanks;

The search feature/function can be found in the box near the top of the screen that also contains "logout" and "user cp".

To rename contacts
Right Click on them > Add a nickname

I doubt this will happen. Patchou said he'll be removing MessengerPlus! feature that no longer have a place in Windows Live Messenger/MessengerPlus! Live.

As Windows Live Messenger already allows you to add nicknames to contacts, i think it's unlikely it'll see a return to MessengerPlus! Live

No, Patchou has said he may include a better version of the feature, if the Micro$oft version does not improve.

I believe this has been discussed before; possibly a script may be able to be written to perform this function. I cannt say as I am not experienced with scripts. Try posting on the scripts section of the forum.
