Nicknames by tidge789 on 05-26-2010 at 09:28 PM

Is there any way to make some contacts seeing my nickname and other contacts seeing an other nickname ? For an example :

My nickname appears like this for Henry : Yo what's up
And my nickname appears like this for Paul : Hey yo all.

Sorry if I wasn't clear.

No. It's only possible to have 1 nickname, Plus! or anything else can't change that.

However, on their Messenger contacts list, they could right click you > Add a nickname, which would then completely hide your current name and you'd appear as what ever they typed in, on contacts list and conversation.

okay, thank you for the solution :)

If you use stuffplug (another wlm add-on) [that i don't think is updated anymore], you can use a chat only name meaning the name you chat with is different from the one people see on they're contacts list.

This is the same for all the contacts though.

Okay... that's not what I exactly want, but thanks.
