Certainly, but I think what alot of us who posted here really wanted was the fact that the Plus version allowed us to see the original nick behind the mask of the renaming. I'm sure font formatting isn't as good a reason as that to bring custom names back.

I really have no clue how to use it..

Yeah, i think you are right. I used MsgPlus because I was able to add custom names and see the original names at the same time. Now with MP!L its gone hope it'll be back soon.

Yes, I love Custom Names too... It's different from WLM Nicknames; please bring it back, thanks!

I want this feature back too, since i use a lot the plus notifications to know if someone logged off, but when i put a nickname in WLM, and a contact goes offline, MP!L doesn't put the nickname i gave, instead it keeps the original nickname. so i cant know who is logging off like i did with the Costum Names of Plus!. so pls bring it back, or at least make Plus able to read the Custom nicknames of WLM. pls Patchau , pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese?????????????????

it's the code most used in the forums

Google is your friend , the sintaxys is very simple, for example

code:

---

[ b]text[/b] bold text
[ i]text[/i] italic text
[ u]text[/u] underlined text
[c=color number]text[/c] colored text

---

these are the codes that are used in MsgPlus!L , in the forums we use a few more
p.d.: remove the spaces because even in code mode it seems to get parsed :E

OMG i can't believe this feature is gone >_>... I regret upgrading to Windows Live Messenger because now I have nearly a thousand contacts, and I have no clue who half of them are. Before you flame me for having so many ppl- some are uni, some are high school friends, some are work mates, colleagues, etc... and then there's family.

All I can hope for at the moment is that Patchou reintroduces the feature, and most importantly (and hopefully), Msg Plus Live! didn't remove the custom names from the settings file. If it did.... then I'm screwed.

If only I had backed up my settings beforehand- then at least I could downgrade back to msn 7.5 and msgplus

Should you ever read this Patchou... please bring it back! I've been a loyal user of your program since the days of 1.7x I think? Back then, all I wanted was chat logging though =]

Also:

[c=colour code]Gradient text[/c=colour code 2]
[a=colour code]Background colour[/a]
[a=colour code]Background gradient[/a=colour code] * Not in menu: will head over to Bug Reports now
[n]No parse[/n]

I'm another one missing the Custom Names feature for the same reasons as everyone else.  I'll live with it for now I suppose on this machine, but I won't be upgrading my other machines until there's a fix for it or MS improves theirs (unlikely)
