Thanks, that's awesome.  Any other tags or formatting options for custom names (like bold, colors, etc.)?

Also, it would still be cool to have the option embedded in MsgPlus, as MSN 7 finally shows emoticons in names as just that (and not their text characters).

Also, this isn't a suggestion thread.
And double posting (making more then 1 post after eachother) isn't allowed, you should've edited your previous post...

The beta version has been updated. If you installed the previous beta, please upgrade.

The /nick command works in Messenger 7
Personalised Status Tags are working in Messenger 7
Custom Names do not crash Messenger 7 anymore
There is now an option in the preferences panel to disable formatting in the contact list (Messenger 7)
I'm not sure the memory leaks and slowness problems have been fixed... please test, with and without the multi-format option enabled (restart Messenger when you change the option). Thanks.

Thank you Patchou , I'm testing at the moment.

[edit] Aww, found a problem already..
It's a problem with the personolised status.

Normally my own custom name in my contact list is "Me"
and when i put on one of my personalised statuses, for example my "I'll Be Right Back" status, my name should normally appear as "Me (I'll Be Right Back)"
but it doesn't, this is what happens:

Personalised status off:


Personalised status on:


After switching it off it flashes this for a milisecond:


And then goes back to this:


[edit3] Wait.. I just resized my contact list (made it wider) and now I do see my personalised statuses properly.. so the problem was that my contact list was too thin. Hmm.. I still think it's sort of a bug though..


My versions:
Windows Version: Windows ME, 4.90.3000
Messenger Client Version: 7.0.0332
Messenger Plus! Version: 3.40.0108
Stuff Plug NG Version: 0.7.150


[edit2] P.s. Custom Names never crashed my Messenger 7.0 even before the beta update , I just thought you'd like to know.

[edit4] I have a rather slow computer (getting a new one tomorrow) and I noticed how my Messenger slowed my computer down seriously, I always thought it was Messenger itself, but you said before that you fixed the memory leaks and slowness problems, so it must have been Plus!. Anyway, I've noticed that the slowness problems are radically gone for me now after the beta update, so thank you , whatever you did to fix the problem worked for me.

I still have those memory leaks in .108

Yeah, me too actually. I thought they were gone but after using Messenger for a while everything went slow again.

About the slowness problem: I woudl really appreciate if you could uninatall Plus! for a day and see if the problem is still there. I want to be absolutely sure that the bugcomes from Plus! and not from Messenger. Also, please do a test by disabling colors in the contact list and restarting Messenger (again, fora wholeday). Please report the results of these 3 scenarios in a new thread this week. Thank you very much.

Nevertheless, a new beta has been released again, I'm asking everyone who's using version 3.40.107 or 3.40.108 to upgrade. Thank you (note: this thread has been cleaned, please do not post suggestions here).

Sweet.... colored contacts.... this is the best

Um, one question, does this version work only for MSN7 or 6.2 too?? If so, Ill test on 6.2 to make sure those things still work.

The "Hide advertisement banner" is not available in MSN Messenger 7 anymore. The reason is not entirely technical, I just felt this option had not its place in Messenger Plus! anymore, thank you for understanding.

And your sure Microsoft didn't brainwash you into  doing so?? lol. Are they going to sue or something?? Or is it an honest choice not to anymore cause im sure a lot of people hate that flashing banner.

My point of view: Since patchou has his own (optional) sponsor program, he knows that the money they make by showing these ads is important to them. i think that *could* be the reason
