I don't know if it's here that I can talk about this, but I've got an idea that I think it will be useful if put in a new version of msgplus. Many users write in their nickname or personal message some links to their blog or videos on youtube. Maybe developers can, in the next version or update, make that you can click on them as you can when you write messages, 'cause now you must copy and paste in the address bar of you browser. Maybe there's still a script that does it, I don't know.

Sorry for my bad english, I'm italian :(

that can't be done...you can put some link in your PSM only, so your contacts can copy paste them in browser...you can only make link that can be clicked like songs are, but it would still be opened in msn search......not that link...

?? It is incorrect! You can't add a directly link in your nickname and in your PSM (if anyone don't create a script that can do it.. :)) but you can add a PASSIVE link not only in your PSM, but in the nickname too ;)

I know that now, with this version, it can't be done... That was an idea for a new update... Maybe it can't be "developed"? I think that as msgplus can make you change the color of your PSM, it can make you link something...

Or simply right-click that contact in your contact list>Messenger Plus! Features>Open Internet Link> select the link which will then open in your default browser.

It's still not as quick and easy as just clicking it as a link, but its easier than copy and pasting.

Thanks, I didn't notice that. That's a great function.

Possibly make a script that lists all the links in names and psms in the contact list and add them to a menu in the scripts menu. Make them actually open a browser to the link location when clicked
