I`ve found when you go to change your name in options
and hold down alt and then press 0160 your name will
not be displayed just blank.....is there any other cool bugs
like this....;-)
 
Greetings,

It's not a bug -- what you may or may not be aware of is the 0160 code that you're typing in
is an ascii code. For example, try alt-0169 or alt-0163.. you'll see a copyright and pound
symbols (which you can also include in your display name as well). 0160 is a "no-break
space", and as such, why it shows up as a space.

Hi,

You're very welcome =).

One thing I forgot, if you load the Character Map (click Start, then Run, type "charmap" and
click OK), select the font you use in Messenger, choose a symbol (one of the non-main
letters, like the copyright symbol), and then look at the bottom statusbar of the Character
Map -- you'll see "Keystroke: Alt+" plus the code.
