Nicknames extended by liam234 on 10-28-2005 at 04:24 PM
Hi, I just wanted to know if it's possible to extend you nickname as you can only type so much into the nickname box. I've seen other people with longer nicknames but I don't know how they do it. can anyone help?

afaik u can't extend ur nickname, but u can extend ur psm.
u can do it with mess patch or SPNG's /xpsm option.

www.mess.be
www.stuffplug.com
Edit:
- Stuffplug is a plugin for Messenger Plus!. I assume you already have Plus! installed but if not Stuffplug won't function.
- Both of these programs involve editing the original Messenger which is against the license agreement, so ensure that you're willing to break this agreement if you intend to use one/both of them

This has been discussed b4, I believe that SP doesn't do it, like Plus! doesn't.
Mess-patch DOES edit the orginal file, and this is against the license agreement.

Oh right. I assumed that because of StuffPlug removing the ad banner in the contact list that it did edit the exe, and that was why it was removed from Plus! (Probably got my wires crossed)

It wasn't removed because it was "illegal" so to speak, but because of the reasons you can read in the sticky thread here: "'MSN advertisement banner' removal".
TB removed the banner-removal in StuffPlug for pretty much the same reasons.

with stuffplug you can also have mutiple lines in your nick name - this may allow you to have a longer nick name.
