Invisble nickname by SnakeCRO on 03-07-2009 at 05:57 AM

Is it possible to have an invisible nickname on WLM9?

RE: Invisble nickname by Th3rmal on 03-07-2009 at 06:08 AM

just put a space as your nickname?

Perhaps only in others' contact lists, [c=0]John Smith[/c] will make the text white; but this only works best on WLM 8.5, as the background of WLM9's contact list is tinted blue in parts.

It didnt work, still shows your e-mail address as your nickname. Have a look at EmptyNick script.

Ok, found out one that works and wont even need the script, Alt+0173. Enjoy ;)

Yeah just tried Alt+0160 then. Doesn't seem to work with the new version of Messenger.

Im guessing it will only work for contacts with plus installed - its what the emptynick script uses. Dont beleive me? Use emptynick and while you have "no" nickname, go into your options, and look at what your nickname is in there.

And by what you have said, then it wont work for those who dont have Plus! installed yes. Anyway I provided the Alt+0173 solution.

Does this mean Alt+0173 doesnt work either?
This is the way I took it...

EDIT: Just tried Alt+0160 - It didnt work, also tried 0173 - It did ;)

This should work for contacts without messenger plus installed, unlike my first suggestion, so I guess it should be used instead :P

Thanks - I even learnt something here, and I only came from this thread to help someone else :)

Agreed - When I tried it my Nickname showed up as totally empty (no dash) and (I had another account logged in for testing) it didnt appear as a dash from my other account either, just empty space :D

Yep. Note, it will show a dash in the conversation window and if the contact hovers to see your e-mail address in their contact list.

Doesnt work. Doesnt allowed to be paste in Messenger. Not in convo windows, not in options, nowhere.
