[Request] Truncate nicks in chat windows by biboscura on 08-07-2006 at 02:49 PM
As in the previous version 3.X , where u were able to truncate the nicks on the chat windows. It was really useful, because is annoying to chat with a person that has a nickname really long.
Thank u very much for your attention. I really hope to see that feature in the next version.

If you add nick then the nick will show, simple.

i dont mean that.
I mean that i dont want to see the whole nick of my friends within the chat windows.
for example:
"John aaaa bbbbb cccc eeddddeeeee ffff ggggg saaaaa fffff says:"
is too long and is annoying. I would like an option to truncate the name to 4 characters, and this way I would see:
"John says: "
Just how it was in msgplus 3.X

Just enable show email adresses, no hassle with long and wierd nicknames... Best option in MSN

I think the best way is to set a nickname for that person, like "John".
The problem is that it will be visible in the chat and contact list, but I don't know any alternative. 
Of course, when StuffPlug 3 is released, you can ask the person to download it and set a Chat-Only name, which is an SP3 feature.
