Which we ALREADY stated in the FIRST post

Well if you want to do that, you'd have to custom name the person.

An easy workaround for that would then to have /"me thinks that (!CN) is an idiot"

---

Not really, it puts the contacts 'friendly name' like it puts your own friendly name when you type /me

Sorry, but I don't get what you are dismissing about that post weirdal27.


gigablade: maybe, but if people are anything like some people on my list they choose to have long names with things like song lyrics in them. so I suggested (!CN)

* M-Head is an idiot

oh, i see what your saying
but if your name is really long or with lyrics in it then its the same as "/me"
if you type /me is cool and your name is something like this:
If Somethings Hard To Do then It's Not Worth Doing Currently Playing >> [Buffer: 62%] WRFL: 88.1FM Lexington, KY (1:53 pm)

then it shows up like this:

If Somethings Hard To Do then It's Not Worth Doing Currently Playing >> [Buffer: 62%] WRFL: 88.1FM Lexington, KY (1:53 pm) is cool

unless im not understanding something

We are suggesting ACTIONS in general...that doesn't mean that you can't just use your custom name for your contact...

/action blade gets into a limo

would become

blade gets into a limo

oh, i guess i forgot to mention that i also had set up a quick text that has "/me" with the alias "/action"

since my name is blank, if i type /action a plane crashes into the ocean it shows up just like you said

We would need to have multi parameters to do that with quick texts:

/happen %(!NP) %an airplane crashes.

would be:
/nick <tab symbol>
#/me (!P2)
#/nick (!P1)
