Firstly, this should be in MsgPlus! General Chat.
Secondly: This would be very hard to do, if not impossible because custom emote.s aren't transfered until the chat window and different ppl have different shortcuts (e.g. :happy: could be a cusom :D for one person and :| for another :P). Also, I don't think protocal allows for this kind of thing.

mmm.... would be such a good thng to have :P but i dont think it would be possible to do it any other way than to do it usingyour personal shortcuts, but then no-one would see them :P

Due to limitations on the MSN Messenger Protocol this cannot and will not be implemented unless Microsoft implements them itself.

And they probably will not do this; but if they do, they will have a limitation on the amount you can use or else you could really lag someones PC.

its a shame tho :( i guess the like, idea of having them actual pics, and not a shortcut would be too hard to impliment, cos that way, youd just have to d/l the small pic, but i guess there would be just as much lag...

This has been suggested many times and it is very unlikely that it would/can/will be implemented.
