I have a big problem...
I use my msn for work and i have about 400 active contacts from all over the world.
When i had msn version 7.5 i used the msn plus 3.63 and i did separate people by coloring their contact names. That helped me easlily understand who is from europe, usa, canada, italy, etc. 
With the new msn plus we do not have this option, unless i have not found it yet, in which case please help me.

One more thing is that the old plus version and the new version are not compatible. Generally I am changing peoples nick names to more detailed ones incorporating information abt them so i know who i am talking to i.e. name, company, country.
Unfortunatelly, now I will have to sit down and find who is "nickname: mr nice guy" and change his nickname to meaningfull information i.e. name, company, country.

I do not see what is the point of using msn plus if on every ungrade i loose all my personal settings ???

I think that designers will have to think again and except of all the fancy stuff ringings etc they also have to provide some real adantages to the users as for example comatibility between ungrades.

Is there anyone that can help me PLEEEEASE?
