Emotions in usernames/display name by pdrake007 on 08-05-2004 at 10:40 AM

At the moment, messenger plus has stopped the emotions displaying as emotions, they are just the letters in brackets, how do i enable it to show them as the pictures?

note: i can see normal emotions when sent as messages, this is when they are in peoples display names

thanks in advance

It is a known limitation that emoticons don't show when Custom Names is enabled. Just disable it in Plus!\Preferences\Contact List\Custom Contact Names ;)

Aha! thank you, it has worked, well partially.  i can now see the emotions when in a conersation, but i cannot see the emotions on the main contact list, is there no way to enable it to display them there?

I believe she's\he's on about using a substitute MSN client that allows you to see emoticons in display names in the main messenger window...However this is a very dumb idea , imo, since all other clients are usually buggy and will stop working with the protocol from time to time...

MSN Messenger itself can be very buggy at times ;)
but yes, its always best to use the designed client (Y)

Speaking of which, the Web MSN Messenger appeard to show emoticons in the main window :)
