Apparently that thread is in the beta forum, sorry about that. This is the post in question:

Some users on the MP!L Italian (and english) forum noticed a bug on sending emotion sounds.
1.Users can't play the sound because they see the internal code of it:
**internal**[Messenger Plus! Sound] - Data{690C1296838D} - Shion Laughing
The culprint is a known conflict with emoticons shortcuts. A simple search on the forum for "[Messenger Plus! Sound] - Data{" will show many threads which give you the solution.
So make sure you don't have any shortcuts to custom emoticons which might conflict with the special string which is used by Messenger Plus! to send sounds.
For example, if you have a custom emoticon with the shortcuts "!" or "{" or "}" or "[" or "]" or "*" or any other character which is in the special sound string which is used by Messenger Plus!, it will conflict with it.
So, change the shorcuts to all those specific emoticons and it will work again.
And make sure you did not tamper with Messenger itself or that you are running some patch which might change some localization resources in Messenger.
PS: It is a very bad idea to use emoticons for normal alphabetical letters anyways! It quite often is also very annoying to your contacts.
But... this bug should have been fixed long time ago (I can't reproduce it either with the latest version).
Speaking of which, version 5.82 does not exist yet. The latest version is 4.82. Make sure you have downloaded only from the official website:
http://www.msgpluslive.com/.
What are your exact versions? You can find this out by typing (!VER) into a conversation. Paste that info here...
