O.P. Nicknames and conversation windows
Hello :)

I've decided to give a try to the new Messenger Live. Really impressive. However, something's annoying is that when I "Add a nickname" to one of my contacts, his "real name" isn't displayed anymore in the conversation window or when I leave my mouse over the contact nickname. With previous version, MessengerPlus allowed me to do so, and I found it very useful. The only solution is to open my contact's profile...

Is someone has a workaround for this, or should I ask for this new feature to being eventually added ?

Thanks for any advice,

It's not likely the feature will be added to Msg Plus! Live

Too bad, because I think it could be quite easy to add it : Indeed, real names are shown in tabs titles. If MsgPlusLive can get this parameter from somewhere, why not showing this real name somewhere else ?

That's the exact problem at the moment, Plus! Live is unable to grab the names to put them in the tabs. This is an unfortunate known limitation

Okay I understand.
And is this limitation deserve lot of work to pass through ?

Sigh... That's why I hate new versions sometimes : It's hard to quit habits to adopt some new ones.
