O.P. Old Style Nick Formatting
What was the old method (using Messenger Plus on Messenger 7.5) of putting colours in your nickname?  i know it involved the $ symbol and it still works on WLM.....I only ask as it didn't shorten my name once the formatting had been applied (i like to have a long name) but using the new [c=4][/c] code takes off 7 chracters from my name

it's annoying me because i lost my old formatting after this server problem thingy

can anyone help?

Or, if you want to type them manually, use Alt+0183 - ·$<colour>

The $-way was never supported, even if people used it.

O.P. RE: Old Style Nick Formatting
cheers for those replies guys

i'm at work now but i'll try it when i get back home!

RE Vikku, the $ way was supported, it is what was used by default when u typed:

/nick...

then did Ctrl+K to bring up the colours selector

What he means by 'unsupported' is that the general advice was to use a different method to enter the colour codes, namely the /nick and Ctrl+K method.
