cool mate, only one thing i don't understand: I am one of the beta testers [or have been?] why did I not receive a beta of this version?

Or did beta-testers had to re-apply? [in other words, did I miss some post? ]

thx for all of your hard work patchou and all of the 'little' guys behind the scenes
I really apreciate you guys doing all of this because it makes msn a hole lot more fun to work with
i also admire you for all the great things you have been able to do, I know that some of them had to be really hard to develope

so .... thx and keep up the good work
PS: expect a belgian postcard some day soon

Thank you SO very much for all your hard work... it has not gone unnoticed... and I do recomend msgr plus.. often.. to the point I'm sure I've annoyed the few friends I have that do not have it installed...lol ty again...

Patchou!
I can't wait for the new version...
* Mnjul is glad that he's a translator

you are teh best patchou!!!

shame i will miss it
i aint back before august and i leave this afternoon


anyway very good news!!!

Well first of all I suppose i better say well done and now for the excitment Wahooooooooo

Thanks a lot Patchou it's guys like you who bring a good name to the internet just don't forget us when your coding MSN MEssenger 9 or something for Microsoft

"A lot of you were requesting this one: the new Custom Name feature lets you set your own names for your contacts. Customized names are displayed in the contact list and the toast popup windows. This is very handy when your contacts keep changing their names "

So, if I was to set someones name as, say "Pie f*cker" I would see that in my contact list, and when he/she signs in? If so that kinda defeats the purpose of MSN/Windows Messenger having the ability for you to choose whatever name you want, doesn't it?
If I'm getting the wrong idea about this feature, someone tell me, please.

Kewl!
This is great news, as i refused to download MSN6 while it's currently not fully supported by Plus!2.

Great news, and i hope you will not be bothered by people saying you're greedy and only want to make money over our backs.
We know this is not true, but there's always morons telling us otherwise.

Anywayz, i'm looking forward to the beta and public release of Plus!2.5

Well, it does sort of mean that, but it also means that if you have a lot of contacts who just randomly change their name to lyrics of a song, a film quote or some trite saying that is 12 lines long, you can set your own name for them and will therefore be able to recognise who it is rather than trying to guess or work it out from their email address.

For me, this will be the killer feature of the new version as I've wanted this for a long time, even going so far as to install Trillian just to get it.

So Hurrach for Patchou and his wonderful add-on.

Presumably you won't HAVE to give someone a name, so if you like what they call themselves it will all be good.

I just don't like the idea that someone could have me named something I don't like. . It feels as if the freedom to have whatever you want in your name is being taken away, you know? I'm not mad at Patchou for adding it, just kinda upset about it. Like for example: I might want to say to my whole list of 146 people "DarKnight. - { My chat room is open. } " If they have me named whatever they want they can't see that, can they?
I know there is the /all in the next version of + but you have to have all the windows of the people open to do it. I'm not going to open up over 100 windows then get responded from each one probably saying "Ok" Talk about annoying, no?
