A Few Suggestions by themrb on 08-18-2006 at 10:27 PM
Hey, I just have a new suggestions for the new messenger plus.
Custom Smiley blocker - You know those really annoying people that like have 'h' as a smiley, and their letters are all choppy, huge and flashing making it really hard to see? It would be great if messenger plus had a way to block custom smilies of a specified length in characters (filtered by contacts), and maybe even block some contact's smileys overall.
I read the FAQ thing, but I just want to state that I hope messenger plus custom contact names come back, because in WLM you cannot just tag the name in front, you have to replace the entire name, and sometimes I want to see what the actual name of the contact is.
Lastly, I find the new encryption system a pain in the neck. Everytime I just want to get a simple quote or review a chat - I have to wait a bit, and type in the encryption password. Then windows asks me if I want to download this weird text file (named tmpdecrypt_e245.txt or similar), and I have to download that file and open it... while the place I suppose is supposed to show the chat logs is empty.
I liked the way messenger plus previously logged stuff. Probably wasn't very secure though XD.

And another one, on tabbed chats, when you close one it goes right back to the start. Maybe there should be an option just to go to the previous one, it gets really annoying when you want to close everything but the first window.
