ok heres my configuration

Windows Live messenger 8.5.0517
Messenger Plus! Live 4.23.0276
Windows Vista Ultimate 32 Bit

as for where are the colours not appearing, they weren't appearing anywhere in messenger at all, i had the colour codes typed into my messenger nickname from before i formated my PC to install Vista, after installing Vista i reinstalled Messenger & Plus and had to manually set it all back up again, some of my scripts have lost there settings and i am gradually trying to get them all back.

i didnt use the button along side the nickname box, however back in the gradient scripts infancy jayjay taught me alot about the syntax of the BBCode system that Plus utilises, so i am confident it was not due to a syntax error.

as i said in my initial post the problem has miraculously resolved itself somehow, however despite the problem being fixed i feel it's important to find out how it occured in the first place so i can learn from the experience.
