ok i am not totally sure if this bug existed prior to 3.40 or not, however heres the details. i renamed my nickname to include colors in it. however since adding colour to my nickname the bit of my name that says "www.sdtourneys.net" which before was a clickable url is now no longer clickable. removing the colour codes for that one bit of text makes it clickable again but then when people view my nickname on their contact lists the clickable part which is clickable in convos is in plain black text on the contact list.

so could you either make it possible for url's that are coloured to still be clickable, or to make it so that clickable url's in contact names are visible and clickable from the contact list aswell as anywhere in messenger?

The clickable links in names is a feature of StuffPlug-NG and/or TB's patch for it. This is not a Messenger Plus! feature...

oh sorry cookie, i knew that clickable names was a stuffplug thing and in a way so is colored nicknames as thats done by colornick 2 that comes with spng. unfortunbately last time i was on the stuffplug site i didnt see any forum links, however after reading your response i felt i better check that out again and although they arent officially supposed to exist there is a stuffplug forum to post these types of things on, so again cookie i am sorry, and will post these bugs on the stuffplug forums in future.

oh yes thats true, im not saying that but stuffplug does install that colornick plugin with its software therefore they are in part responsable for providing tech support for it.

No no no you're confussing things

Clickable urls in names => StuffPlug-NG or MSNNameUrls Patch.

Colors (in names) => Messenger Plus!.

ColorNick Plugin => Has nothing todo with StuffPlug-NG at all. The install package of StuffPlug-NG just includes a version of this plugin, that's all. Also the ColorNick plugin just uses the codes from Messenger Plus! to add colors (and gradient patterns) in a more user friendly way, nothing more.

oh sorry cookie i didnt realise that. anyways after posting my problem on the stuffplug forum it has been resolved. so sorry for all the confusion.

Windows Versione: Windows XP, 5.01.2600
Messenger Client Versione: 6.2.0137
Messenger Plus! Versione: 3.40.0110

See attached image.

I have the same problem. It happens with Messenger 6.2 when u have any of the 3.40 beta versions. When opening a conversation window, if the contact nickname includes colors, it is not displayed in the top of the window. When the nickname includes emoticons, those are displayed, but not the letters.
I went back to msgplus 3.25

"Enhance the contact list with Messenger Plus features" don't work with contacts that not in groups.
