Hello ! I'm French and I'm a little disappointed because I didn't find my favorite functions :

- Where the heck is the function "quote" ?? I can't quote any more in my conversations Can we add it?
- What did you do with the option "Put a nickname to a contact" ? Because of course we can do it with WLM, but the problem is that when we put a nickname to a contact, when we put the cursor on this contact we only see the nickname we have given him (and NOT his original nickname) ! So will there be an "Msg plus! Extra" function to do like in Msg Plus (normal) ?

PS: But what I love is the search engine in the Msg Plus! Sound ;p, great !

Note: Does somebody know how to not regroupe all the instant-messages you send in ONE instant message (till your contact doesnt talk) ?

Thanks a lot for your replies...

You can see their names by right clicking your contact, clicking on edit nickname, and then deleting the nickname

Yes many of the features has been taken out.

I miss the feature u can add shortcut to ur personalised status. It was very useful and u cld assign ur status quickly.

That's a WLM feature, but to disable it, go to Tools > Options > Messages and tick the box where it says Show "contact says" before every message.

Hope that helped.

Thanks a lot Ian2773

The old Quoting Feature has been redesigned.

It is available in the Plus! menu on the formatting toobar in a conversation: Show previous messages...


You can also access this using the shortcuts Ctrl+Up and Ctrl+Down. To enable these enable the next option in the preferences: Plus! > Preferences > Conversations > Main > Enable quick access to previously sent messages with Ctrl+Up and Ctrl+Down.

Currently this feature only records stuff you've send, not the text from contacts.

The custom contact feature is not (yet) added. It might be in the future.

See: "CookieRevised's reply to Rename Contact feature - Gone?"

I dont think these features were removed, just that Patchou probably wanted to make the deadline and in doing so, had to remove some functions to make it on time. Messenger plus was completely rewritten for this version, and so progressively we'll probably see all of the missing features back in future revisions.

ok, found out something, if you have the tabbed chat on, the person's original name will appear on the bar so it's all good.
