Lil Problem :) by ficho01 on 09-16-2007 at 04:06 PM
Few days ago I when was that big noise about banning old MSN versions I changed my old 8.0.812. to the 8.1.178. Everything is fine, I don't see the big difference between these two...
Today I noticed that colouring my nickname doesn't work. 
People on my contact list which have coloured nicknames, their nicknames are shown like the code for that colours ((example [c=39]blablabla[/c=10]))
Also, in the popup window that comes out when someone signs in nicknames aren't coloured, just that code.
Any suggestions to solve this problem?

That's because you don't appear to have Messenger Plus! Live.
Download the latest version @ http://www.msgpluslive.net

No, I have installed the latest version...4.23 I think.

Can you go to the Plus! menu? (Where File is, etc.) And you can access Preferences?
Like so:
RE: Lil Problem :) by ficho01 on 09-16-2007 at 04:19 PM
Yes, I can access that.
RE: Lil Problem :) by Chris4 on 09-16-2007 at 04:23 PM
Are these two options ticked in Messenger Plus! Preferences?
RE: Lil Problem :) by toddy on 09-16-2007 at 04:24 PM
plus! > preference > customize! > use formatting attributes to colour contact names in messenger windows
RE: Lil Problem :) by ficho01 on 09-16-2007 at 04:32 PM
Yes, all these options are ticked.
When I was on 8.0 version everything worked great, but now on 8.1 some things are mixed up.

Any solutions? Anyone?

Have you got any patches/other add-ons installed?
RE: Lil Problem :) by MeEtc on 09-18-2007 at 12:17 AM
did you reinstall Plus after upgrading to 8.1? if not, try that
RE: Lil Problem :) by ficho01 on 09-19-2007 at 10:22 AM
I just have Messenger Discovery Live 1.3 and also Plus! 4.23.
EDIT: Just saw the post above...i'll try that then I'll see...tnx.
RE: Lil Problem :) by ficho01 on 09-19-2007 at 12:13 PM
Well, some things improved and now working better...
Now I can see the coloured nicknames in the Contact List, but not in the popup window when someone signs in. There is still the code for the colours that he/she is using...

quote:Windows Live Messenger truncates long nicknames in its own pop up toasts so the codes may appear if your contacts use BBcode style. Make sure that your contact has a short nick and less formatting on it (try it with one who have at most ten characters including the formatting codes) I recommend you to use MsgPlus!'s own sign-in notification toasts instead of WLM's, you won't encounter this problem with them.

Sounds interesting...where can I activate Plus!'s sign-in notification toasts?
RE: Lil Problem :) by ahmetgns on 09-22-2007 at 12:04 PM
From Messenger Plus! Live Preferences > Customize! > Event Notifications.
