smileys in names weirdness
Posted: Thu Jun 09, 2005 6:20 pm
I find it quite weird that the smileys (and other) don't get shown in names.
In a certrain point of view I can understand the decision not to show it in the contact list, but in the message window would be nice in my opinion.
The thing is that in status messages (close window, change status or whatever) suddenly the smileys will be shown, not only in the name but in the whole status messages.
This gives some weirdness in some localisations.
In french the way to say "away" is "absent" and there is a feminine form that requires it to end with an "e"
In the localisations they abbreviate this by writing (e) behind the word.
(e) = enveloppe in msn!
I think this behaviour should be changed.
Either you show smileys; either you don't. but not half half...
