Is there a tag (like (!N) for nickname) for the status (for example 'Away') of a contact? Or would it be possible to introduce one?

Coz more and more of my contacts use webmessenger, and then only a green "sphere" is shown instead of the little clock or busy symbol, so i have to hover over each contact in order to see whether theyre busy or not..
-and i dont want to make my contact list really big in order to see the status at the end of their long names
-and i do want to see their entire names, so just renaming them with a short name also isnt a real option

So if there would be a status-tag, i could add that between the custom name and the nickname of my contacts

Good idea, that way you could add the tag at the beggining if you wished also.

If it isnt possible at all, that would be too bad..   but hey, i'll get over it

It's a good suggestion though. I hope Patchou reads it.

isn't the status always displayed in parenthesis in Messenger 7?

Yes it is, but only at the end of the (long) nickname of the contact, and i would like to set it after the custom name i give the person. For example:
"custom name" "(status)" "long nickname"
(coz my contact list isnt that wide and i cant see the statusses at the end of the long nicknames)

I hope i made it a bit clearer what i mean.


Ok, i hadnt been using the official release of 7 yet (only the official beta), and indeed they have changed this, so there is no longer the need for what i suggested

And thanx for your quick reply
