Nicknames by traa on 01-17-2008 at 09:00 AM
Hi
i was thinking today
that i have a lot of contacts and don't talk to everyone all the time
so if they change the nick i could get confused and don't know who are they
so i start to use the nickname thing where u put a personal nick to a contact
but the problem it's that many of my friend use the nickname section to put a message aswell
like myself (I.E.)
"тraa™ ενε [ Yatta!] [ Guys From School, Tomorrow we have test]"
just an example not that i will have one 
so if u could think in put like
the nick that u want to put him/her - his nick - his subnick
just an idea =)
hope u consider it
Bye

Ok.. let me think of alternatives before thinking about adding a new feature...
1. You could replace their nickname with one of your own, then to find out what their actual nickname is you just go to Plus! > Contact Information.
2. If you right click a contact and go to Edit Contact, you can add their first name, last name and lots of details about them, including a Notes section which you can add anything you like. So you won't forget who they are and you can always see their actual nickname in contacts list and conversation.
That help at all?

yeah it's an option but, is not that i'm lazy, it just better to see it directly in the conversation window whitout need to see each one of the contacts, it could work when u want to know something specific, but if someone of my contacts r selling some ingame resources of any game or something and i just talk them to buy or sell thing sometimes i will not watch there all the time, still an option whit few ppl but if u have few ppl u should remember them all too lol

it's actually i very complete thing that of the contact card but the same thing as up
u need to go and check the card ... there's a shorcut when u click his display pic tho ... but i can only see the cellphone number the house number and other stuffs not the name =S
that's why i'm trying to give this idea, it will be faster
i will try to make a pic on how i think it should look
thanks for the quick post
i'm going to sleep ^^

Well, I highly doubt this will be made into a Msg Plus! feature, as no one will use it, lol.
However, a script could be made?
