At the moment, messenger plus has stopped the emotions displaying as emotions, they are just the letters in brackets, how do i enable it to show them as the pictures?

note: i can see normal emotions when sent as messages, this is when they are in peoples display names

thanks in advance

It is a known limitation that emoticons don't show when Custom Names is enabled. Just disable it in Plus!\Preferences\Contact List\Custom Contact Names

Aha! thank you, it has worked, well partially.  i can now see the emotions when in a conersation, but i cannot see the emotions on the main contact list, is there no way to enable it to display them there?

I believe she's\he's on about using a substitute MSN client that allows you to see emoticons in display names in the main messenger window...However this is a very dumb idea , imo, since all other clients are usually buggy and will stop working with the protocol from time to time...

MSN Messenger itself can be very buggy at times
but yes, its always best to use the designed client

Speaking of which, the Web MSN Messenger appeard to show emoticons in the main window
