He is asking about his nick because there are some Unicode characters that will change the appearance of your nickname in some ways and it might be a character he uses in his nick that does this.

Although I never heard of a Unicode character that repeatedly shrinks your nick..

maxfiretkk, you could try changing your nick and see if this still happens.
Seems like I didn't read your post carefully enough, since you already said that this only happens when you add the chinese characters :tongue:

Yes, to start with, just copy & paste your nick (or the character in question) into a .txt-file and attach it to a post and we'll take it from there. :wink:

how i do that? i get some error saying i will lose the unicode if i save it.

can i put it here?

【十】™]=[¤°Måx / КΣІЅЏКΣ°¤]=[  +Balls.Of.Steel+; where did my sleeping beauty go 让我照顾你

by the way the problem is solely msn plus! becaused i sent an email to windows live already. they said the problem is with msn plus! not windows live. so i tink this thread should be moved back?

Okay, here is the Unicode version of the nick he uses: nick.txt (you might have to right click - save target as)

This isn't Messenger Plus! related though, I disabled Plus! completely and it would still shrink the nickname.
It doesn't seem to be one of the Chinese characters but a combination of several characters which does this.. I'll take a closer look later.

Edit: Screenshot :p
