suggestion by C3PO on 01-06-2005 at 01:56 AM

hey i got a suggestion maybe for a future msg release. Why not be able to use flashing font. Having your font flash like every second or half a second and you could have any colour font or size. Hope I explaned it good enough, whats everyone one think of the idea!?

This wouldn't be possible because it would require changing already sent text which isn't possible with  the MSN protocol.

He may not be old enough to remember websites that made use of the most hated html tag: <blink>

he's talking about blinking text in msn messenger, not HTML.

And i think it would be possible, however wont be done cos no-one would like it.

Yes I know he's talking about blinking text in MSN messenger. But I think that people who remember the annoying <blink> tag from HTML wouldnt ask for flashing text in IM :)

That's stll possible, just not through html. You just have to make an animated gid and voila, everyone hates you :P

that wouldnt be very efficient, and it would mean you would have to create a new gif every time you wanted to say something, however you could have a blinking emoticon alphabet, and use the emoticon limit remover.

I saw it on that urban legend movie :S some girl was chatting on the net with some simple instant messaging progeam that could use flashing font :D crap movie though .... very stupid :D.... i recon it would be an ok feature it would be annoying sometimes but people use them really light fonts which is annoying to but i just askt hem to change and i would do the samr for the flashing font, it would be best used as a one word or 1 sentence kinda thing :P


RE: suggestion by .blade// on 01-07-2005 at 03:55 AM

Then make some flashing letters that match into animated GIFs and set them as emotes.

E.g., you could set it so that if you wanted "HURRY!" to flash it would be ":fh::fu::fr::fr::fy::f!:"
