PM doesn't show colors... just show the format tags
why this??? is there a limitation of MP!L??? :$

What PSM? Yours or your contacts? And where doesn't it show colors? In your contactlist, in the top personal bar? Also, I assume you're talking about Messenger Plus! Live?

Always be specific in your posts so you can be helped out in a decent way (without lots of time consuming post and reply traffic)

And try to use full names of features, especially when you don't know the correct abbrivations ;) Otherwise it can be very confusing.

eg: your post might even be interpreted as a Private Message on the forums.



Guessing in what you mean:

If you mean you can't see the colors in your own color formatted PSM (personal message) in the top personal bar in the contactlist, then yes, this is a limitation. People will see your PSM with the proper formatting (provided they have a compatible Messenger Plus! installed).

I dunno why. Patchou can answer that though. But it maybe has something todo with the way it is hooked; or rather can't be hooked in the way Patchou uses hooking.

Not unless Patchou finds a way to do it, so at the moment there is no solution, sorry. I don't see why you need it that much, if you want to check how it looks you can always add yourself to your contact list ;)

This is just a guess, but maybe the edit control for the PSM is not a rich edit, and so Patchou's rich edit hooks don't pick up on it?

something like that was what I though... but is kind of weird... don't you think it???


RE: PM doesn't show colors... just show the format tags by warmth on 05-27-2007 at 08:52 PM

can someone talk to patchou and tell me what he said about it???


RE: PM doesn't show colors... just show the format tags by Patchou on 09-12-2007 at 12:10 AM

that's because you can edit the tags directly in the contact list by clicking on the psm. I don't want to risk losing the attributes when this happens so I prefer to leave them there, as is.

SP doesn't need to take formatting into consideration though...

Bump!

Hi, I don't know if you could think this before (I hope so) but I wanted to share it with you. You can quickly view your formatted personal message (it is truncated if too long but still gives an idea) in your contact card. I wrote this for people who don't want to add themselves to their contact lists for only seeing how their psm's look like.
