O.P. If any of you have wondered...
With MSN Messenger 6.2's "new" feature, you can see the emoticons in real time when you type their codes. But hey, have you ever wonder how to see :o) in real time then? Obviously typing <:o) sequentially doesn't work, because Messenger replaces :o with :o immediately when you type them and so it looks like <[Image: msn_surprised.gif]) . If you really want to know a workaround, here it is...

1. Type <o) first
2. Between the < and o, insert a : . Bingo!

You should file this to the Microsoft team also, so they can A) fix it and B) make an off-switch for this *beeping* "feature"... ;)

I noticed that after reading a post saying something about :o) and then I did some tests.

sure? I remember that didn't happen to me yesterday... I typed <:o) and while typing it was replaced by <:o) . When I send it, it still was <:o:-/

definitely i need to do more tests...

Oh...:$...Choli is right, sorry for that...I need to edit my previous post. If so, this post may be a little bit useful...I want to move this thread to M/W Messenger, would you agree with me? :)

The reason why it doesn't work is, when Messenger "interpretes" :o into :o, it internally makes it :-O. Of course, <:-O) wouldn't result in :o).

yep... i don't think this thread belongs to T&T... and you can also close it, unless we want to talk about this:

I agree on M$ making an option to disable that, but imo i don't think it's a *beeping* feature.  In some way, i'm happy with it and like it.
