bug with adding colors to your nickname by somebody021 on 12-20-2005 at 01:27 PM
Versions:
MSN Messenger 7.5
Messenger Plus! Version: 3.61.0145
Windows XP
I tried to add color to my nickname using the /nick command and Messenger Plus! said that this command was not recognized or and error occurred during processing. I have tried rereresigning and nothing ever changes about this.

Are you remembering to put in a space?
RE: bug with adding colors to your nickname by somebody021 on 12-20-2005 at 02:01 PM
Messenger Plus! never said that I have to put a space. And which space do you mean?

A space between /nick and the name. eg "/nick random name"
RE: bug with adding colors to your nickname by somebody021 on 12-20-2005 at 02:06 PM
Nothing happens when I type that. I just try and type /nick

What?! In the convo window type "/nick name" without quotes. How does that not work? Does nothing at all happen?! 
RE: bug with adding colors to your nickname by somebody021 on 12-20-2005 at 02:12 PM
If I do that, nothing happens. There's no error message, but nothing happens either.

And make sure you have enabled the use of commands....
And enable the use of IRC-style shortcuts (for the CTRL+K)
Plus! > Preferences > Message Helpers > Command & keys > "Allow the use of commands and tags"
Plus! > Preferences > Message Helpers > Command & keys > "Enable multi-format IRC style shortcuts"

Note: You always put a space after a command and before the argument/parameter of that command. This is not only something uniquely in Plus!, it is so in every piece of software which can use commands thruout the whole informatica industry.
