where?

Plus! menu in Windows Live Messenger main window.

I thank Patchou for this new version, and im pretty sure he will bring back this costum name feature again. I also wish so mutch.

Best of lucks in that job!!

You rock

Pleeeease bring back old custom names. The Microsoft version of this feature is garbage.

At the very least could we have a tag to be able to use the contact's name in their custom name? That much doesn't sound too bad to code considering we can already use other tags there.

Please bring back the custom name feature I loved the one in messenger plus and I really don't want to have to re write all of em. I unistalled live because without custom names it annoys me too much so i'll stick to 7.5...

Or another way could be Patchou could put up a script for this so we could use it as an optional add on if we wanted, and he wouldn't have to put it in to satisfy a few people (I really dunno just how many want this back).

Why didn't I think of that earlier....

that was the number 1 thing I loved...like I cannot tell who is who. It depresses me.

the live version of this sucks

the plus! version let you enable "original" nicks for certain contacts, which is what i used it for

now you cant do that :/

yes... the costum name feature was the only feature, why i used plus to be honest...

The Microsoft 'Nickname' feature is not garbage at all: it wasn't designed to be like Custom Names. Plus, all that's been lost really is the use of tags like (!N). You can still add colours and formatting to it.
