Hey, I just installed Msn Plus 3.. .
But I have a problem. I can't see any emticons in the names of my persons.. But I can see them in the conversation
Pretty weird isn't it?

Bye

Not really weird, it's a limitation you have for using Custom Names.

I have a problem about the names, when plus! isn't installed i can't see their names, but when it is and i use customm names I can in the message box.

I can't see their names in the msn box either, just their email addresses. how can i fix this ?

Yeah, unfortunately due to how Messenger Plus! Custom name works MSN uses the display contacts by e-mail address, when this happens the emoticons in whosever name, (be it custom or not) will not be automatically translated into viewable images in toasts due to MSN Messenger being set to view contacts by e-mail's, because e-mail addresses are purely text and any emotion in it should not be displayed, MSN Messenger sees no need to translate the emoticon commands into images...

Also please do not post your problems in a thread about someone else's problem that has nothing to do with your own...start a new thread in future please

You are not referring to MSN Plus, you are referring to Messenger Plus! created by Patchou. MSN Plus! is a service owned by Microsoft...below are the links so you can inspect the difference
Messenger Plus
MSN Plus

It's down in the English version as Display Name...and wouldn't that ruin custom display names?
