Nope. There is no plugin that can turn your name into a hyperlink...and if there was your contacts would need the plugin as well so it's not really useful...I doubt the .NET protocol would accept it...

Doesn't has anything todo with the MSN protocol though...
And the plugin would only be needed by the person who wants to click on the link*, because the plugin would only alter the way that names are shown, not sent. And this is not possible, not with a plugin, not with an addon, because the names are text-objects, so the plugin would have to change those text-objects into hyperlink-objects which isn't possible...

* So, if you set this as your name: "S7eph4n || http://www.msgplus.net  ||" and you wish the link was clickable, then you need to give your contacts the plugin. You don't use the plugin yourself (unless you want to be able to click it also of course)

EDIT: TB striked again But note that it isn't a plugin or addon, but an actual patch which will change your msn messenger!

how about no? that can be VERY annoying....

Yes, you are. Although I shouldn't talk because I was banned for ing not too long ago. I think that this feature would be not very useful. If you really wanted, just set a quick text to whatever url your site is at.

i actually thought of this today, you bet me to it
i was thinking of a feature of plus! though, so if your contact had plus he could see the link

I know someone working on a patch for this, stay tuned.

Wouldn't it be just as easy to use the command tag (!N)
I know that it's not what your asking, but would work just as well.

yes, true.... but my point was more that you can't change the object-type with a plugin... You must alter the way MSN Messenger works...

EDIT: And TB did it by patching MSN Messenger (so, no not a plugin, but actualy patching/changing Messenger)
