And what is the result? Does the problem still occur?

No, it doesn't.

I will add myself again now, to check it.


EDIT: Just added myself but i'm not shown as online in my contacts list and I can't see my nick and PSM. Just my MSN address. :S
What to do?

I tried several times adding myself but it doesn't work. I've also signed out and signed in many times. Really don't know what to do...

That is good. Don't even consider adding yourself again :P

There is something strange here. I added and after ten minutes deleted myself from my contact list yesterday. However myself remained in my Allow list. Today I changed my psm and when I checked my Allow list, I saw that new psm in my entry in Allow list. However I myself have never been in my contact list since yesterday and this psm is completely new. I think, Messenger reads the avaliable information from our pcs for ourselves and changes lists according to that info. So we better never add ourselves in our contact lists.

really, why do you add yourself?

Just from curiosity, to see who others see my nick and PSM.

Well, I generally can't see myself. After the day I deleted myself and added again the next day I'm always offline. 8-)

I think, you mix these two question words "who" and "how". Just move "w" to the end of the word :)

You have Messenger Plus! Live and you add colors&formatting to your psm, right?  That is why you want to see how your name&psm look like? To learn it, checking your contact card window helps a bit. But if it is not sufficient, you can use (!NP) and (!MYPSM) tags of MsgPlus!. What you have to do to check your name and psm is just sending those tags to any contact, it may even be a Messenger bot which won't be annoyed with such messages ;).

You got the point, sorry for the "who" and mixed up letters. :D

I tried sending !MYPSM and !NP to my both, online and offline contacts but I didn't noticed anything.
Did you mean /psm and /name?

Hehe, not !MYPSM and !NP, they must be in brackets like I wrote (and in capitals [don't use small case this time :P]).

You can have a look at Insert Special Tag submenu of Plus! menu of conversation windows to see other avaliable special tags.
