the old MsgPlus function by kimoneo on 08-04-2007 at 02:46 AM

Hi

I rember that in the old version MsgPlus, I can set showname for everyone on MsgPlus, then it will show on msn windows.

But in the new version MsgPlus live, this useful function is gone.

Is it come back at MsgPlus live for new version ?

This function was removed as Windows Live Messenger itself has this function, if you right click and choose edit nickname (or is it add nickname?)

When I edit nickname, I change logon MSN from A computer to B computer, Is the nickname will show on MSN at B computer ?

IIRC it should be added to your contact details and so stored server side(?)

Precisely.  It is superior in the way that the information is stored on the server and hence able to have the nicknames on any computer you use.  However there have been some drawbacks like not being able to view their displayname or personal message after their name.
