As far as I am aware, this is a limitation of the protocol and not the client, and therefore it can't be changed
What do you need a long name for anyway?

O.P.
well i use long nicknames a lot cuz i like to use song lyrics as my name, and sumtimes that takes up a lotta characters, especially if its a coupla lines of lyrics that just dont make sense unless they go together, but wutever, if its an unfixable problem then i suppose im just screwed...thanks for the help anyways...unless sumone else out there has the magic cure, in which case keep posting

It would be possible... but that would requiere you and the other users(who have to see your long nickname) to use proxy... ... but if ppl were willing to havae proxy on both sides then I guess it would be possible... Depends if the client is limited to show 129 characters too....

eh.. hmm.. why not have 'the other user and you' use 'another program' instead of MSN Messenger, while you're at it.
This is no real solution. =/

I believe it is, again because the protocol limits you to 129 characters.

alrite, well i kno quite a bit about computers in most cases, but not so much about programming, so could sumone perhaps explain to me wuts meant by "client" and "protocol", and why it is that we can edit the client but not the protocol. thanks
