hey I am having trouble viewing other people’s custom emoticons in MSN messenger 6.2 and it didnt work in my MSN 6.0 and 6.0 When people post thier custom emoticons they always come up as blank. I have view custom emoticons turned on. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and tried about everything else and I still get blank messages when people post custom emoticons even though I still have the option of viewing custom emoticons turned on even though everyone else can view them. how do I fix this problem? it is getting annoying. thanks for your help. 😀
You need to wait for these emoticons to download to your computer. Even though their only 19×19, the still take a few seconds, or sometimes several. Your best bet is just to wait a bit.
BUT ITS WEIRD BECAUSE WHEN I LOG INTO ANOTHER MY SISTERS COMPUTER WHICH IS THE SAME ON BECAUSE WE HAVE XP THEY COME OUT ON HERS BUT NOT ON MINE. DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT CAN BE ???? I’VE HAD THIS FOR A VERY LONG TIME NOW AND IM FRUSTRATED:(
i mean when I talk to them all that comes out is (*) or (8) also when it pops up that they sign in and yesterday that I installed the new MSN 6.2 it worked but then I installed MSN plus and it just stopped. do you think that maybe its msnplus?
(*) and (8) are default emoticons. Are you saying you do not see them in nicknames, or in conversations? If you have custom names enabled on MSN Messenger, you will not see any emoticons in nicknames. Also, custom emoticons will not be seen in nicknames msgplus installed or not.
OK. So, let me understand clearly. It’s in nicknames you do not see emoticons?
1) You will not see CUSTOM EMOTICONS in nicknames
2) You will not see ANY EMOTICONS in nicknames if you have Messenger Plus! set to custom namesIf you open MSN messenger, go to tools–>options–>messages, and under ‘message text’ you will see somethings about emoticons. Just make sure both boxes are checked and it should work.
HuRRiCaNe22491, have you read the above posts clearly? They have made it clear to me they have done what you have suggested.
In your Messenger Plus preferences, select Custom Names, and make sure there is no check in the box. (or square in the box)Hey Estwlita, I think I no wot your sayin :), go to plus! on your MSN and select custom names, I can either be ticked, as a block box, or empty, make sure its empty and you will see emoticons in names, but you can never see custom emoticons in names 😀 was I on the right track or not,,lol :p

i have the exact same problem and I don’t have messenger plus installed right now. so can anyone help me out on how to fix this? thanks
If you want to use custom names you have to forgo custom emoticons with the names. You need to make sure custom names isn’t checked or has a gray checkmark in the Plus options.
