Messenger Plus! Live deactivated Index tab with Nickname ?! by Homeboy on 11-11-2011 at 04:58 PM

I am very disapointed that Messenger Plus! Live deactivated my Index Tab as Nickname with all WLM Options! or hide it.

why did MSN Live Plus! disabled this good feature???

Under the User Picture, WLM displayed the Nickname with an index tab with some options.
this i need also in Messenger Plus! Live.
the most people serach the nickname with index tab, but they didnt found out that the problem is MSN Pus! Live.
your tool disable this feature of WML

there is no comment about it, that MSN Live Plus! disabled it!

please need a qucik anser or fix of this or as setting.

all version are up to date at this time.

Are you referring to the ability to set your nickname? If so this was removed by Microsoft themselves. Nothing to do with Messenger Plus!.

Because everything in the world is going the way of Social Media Microsoft has integrated Facebook with your Windows Live Profile and you have to use your name. This happened in the upgrade to Windows Live Messenger 2011. Windows Live Messenger 2009 still has nicknames but depending on the version your contacts have they may see your Live Profile name.

No, you didnt understand.

at the open wlm messenger, without MSN Live Plus! you see under your picture the Name of yourself.
when you click on it, it open up a window with 14 options!

when you install MSN live Plus! The name is hide, disabled or deleted! you cant use the 14 options. no name avaible=no 14 option window.


try  and check it out.

at my first post i add a picture without Plus live.

with Plus Live there are MSN Live Plus options but the own nickname with all 14 option is deleted.

It is not MSN Live Plus it is Messenger Plus!. The Live tag was removed and Messenger Plus! is a completely different program.

It isn't deleted.

Widen the contact list and it will appear.

Also you can remove a bunch of the added icons in the preferences under the Appearance section:  Contact List and Messenger

yes, this fix it!
but why i must set up this?

i think it is not correct that Messenger Plus! Live hide my nickname with the options of WLM.

it was better that my nickname shows by default settings of Messenger Plus! Live.

but thanks for the quick help.

can i disable the contact search and the promotions of wlm at the bottom?

thanks when you can help me at this too.

This isn't the fault of Messenger Plus! but the fault of how Windows Live Messenger handles the overflow of icons by resizing the name space.

You cannot remove the advertisement but you can remove the tabs. It is in the options for Windows Live Messenger.

MSN is indeed often used as a short for Messenger.

However, "MSN Plus" is NOT the same as "Messenger Plus!"!!!!

"MSN Plus" is a completely DIFFERENT program/service from Microsoft itself, which has got nothing to do with Messenger Plus!.

Also, as Matty already pointed out: the "Live" tag at the end is not used anymore in Messenger Plus!.
Thus, the correct name is "Messenger Plus! 5" or if you want to shorten it: "MsgPlus!".

Everything else is wrong and will be confusing. Mostly because "MSN Plus" is an existing but completely different program.
