Yes, I'm back. And i kinda know how to do it, it just doesnt seem to work. i type /nick then put the colours and everything, but then when i press ctrl + R and choose a style for where ever i want to put it and press enter it doesnt seem to work... Can anyone help??

Ok, so you want bold/italics/underline/strike in your name, as well as different colours.

So, first thingys first, in a conversation box, type:

quote:

---

/nick

---

Then choose whether you want bold etc. by clicking the Plus! symbol and going to "insert a text formatting tag". If you click on bold it will appear something like this:

quote:

---

/nick 

---

Then choose your colour, by clicking Plus! icon and going to "insert a text colour tag". Click the colour you want. It will then look something like this, depending on the colour you chose:

quote:

---

/nick  4

---

Then type the text you want:

quote:

---

/nick 4Name here

---

Press enter and your name should change to this:

Name here

Just change everything so it's how you want it.
Hope that helps?

The Ctrl + R comes before the nick

Basically:
'/nick ' {Ctrl+R} {click selection} 'name'

I'm having problems with this as well, when I try to make a code in MSN, it gives me a vertical thick line, and on one of the posts above when showing the symbol, I get a square, see the attachment, is this something to do with my text encoding?

It's probably because of the font you're using. I believe it should still work if you type your nick after that.

Confirmed. Different fonts has different squares.
You can also use shortcuts for all those styles:
Ctrl+B -> Start bold text
Ctrl+T -> Start italic text
Ctrl+U -> Start underlined text
Ctrl+K -> Start colored text
Ctrl+O -> Reset formatted text
