lately, everyone has been getting colors on their personal messages when using messenger, and ppl been tight over helping me, so can anyone tell me how you do it?

You use Stuffplug NG to do that. The command is /xpsm (in a conversationwindow just like /nick) putting colours in is done the same as putting colour in your nick (ctrl+k), just make sure there's still a space after /xpsm.

If it's your first time installing Stuffplug NG make sure you check the "needed" list too when installing (a screen will come up in wich you can choose to install additional plugins etc...you'll see only stuffplug is checked by default..you need to check the list right under that), follow instructions carefully. By installing this list you make sure everything SPNG needs is on your computer.

can you tell me more details, i dont really get it

1. Download stuffplug NG from above link and install...when a screen with a list comes up check the box right underneath stuffplug..read and follow instructions carefully (at one point it will ask you to reboot, you have to choose NO/later there)
2. Configure Stuffplug as you wish
3. Open a conversation window and type /xpsm<space><new psm>, don't press enter yet!
4. Select the part you want coloured and press ctrl+k, then choose a colour....(you can also press ctrl+k after /xpsm<space>)
5. Make sure there is still a space after /xpsm (if there isn't one it will tell you the command is not recognized or invalid) and press enter. Your psm will now be coloured.

thanks for the help.

btw when i installed it, when i want to go to my msn space, it directs me without a new window being open, but a page im using for another site, so when i want to go directly to my msn space, instead of using I.E it directly goes to my firefox explorer, do anyone know how to stop it?

In Stuffplug-NG's options go to General. Then untick Open all links in default browser

This will solve your problem.

TD, I doubt hello will understand this.

hello,

1. Open the Main Contact List window for MSN
2. Click on the Plus! Menu
3. Click Preferences
4. Click Plugins on the left menu
5. Click StuffPlug-NG from the List
6. Click Configure
7. Uncheck Open all links in default browser
8. Click ok on the StuffPlug-NG - Options window
9. Click ok on the Messenger Plus! Preferences.

Can anyone view your personal message? If so whats the point of them, seem useless

yes, anyone with MSN version 7.0 or higher can view your personal message

So whats personal about them then? Just seems like the same as your MSN name but in italics
