Remove "says:" but don't remove the time in WLM 8.0 by h34d on 12-04-2006 at 09:36 PM

Hello everyone,

I'm from Brazil so my English isn't very good. Patient please!

I'd like to remove the word "says:" in the end of my nick in chat messages but I don't want remove the time of the message was sent.

I tried to do what CookieRevised said in this topic: http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=44931&page=1

But it doesn't work. It seems different for WLM 8.0.
I tried the 1st metohd because the 2nd is a bit cofused and the 3rd will remove the time :(

I'm using WLM 8.0.0812.00 and MsgPlus 4.11.0.254

What should I do? I don't want to install a new plugin like MessPatch just for it.

Please, help me! :D

Don't know if this will work but try using A-Patch to remove the says and then tick the feature in the Tools>Options>Messages>Show timestamp on messages.
A-Patch -> http://www.apatch.org/

If that doesn't work, here's another option, which is very similar to the advice Cookie gave, it's just another string in msgslang.dll:
String Table 128, String 2042
change "%1 says (%3):" to "%1 (%3)"

Thats basically installing a new plugin like MessPatch, but if Jesus/CookieRevised's way doesnt work for you (highly unlikely), then use MessPatch, its a great thing to use, and works well :)

But Mess Patch isn't a plug-in and it doesn't have the feature to remove says in messages.

Thanks Jesus! It really worked!

It will not remove the time, just as it will not remove the "says". It will make it white, resulting in you not seeing it anymore provided you use the default white background.

That is indeed the string used in Windows Live Messenger (many string IDs in WLM have been changed, split up, and/or added compared to MSN messenger).

PS: Also see fine print in "CookieRevised's reply to Seconds in timestamp in messages of conversation windows?" for more but small info/tip.
