LOL!!! I was just kidding when writing 'If using bold at all, then I'd vote for having bold nick and non-bold PSM :-P' So, no vote indeed, and no nick in bold. What I was saying all the time was: It's the nick that counts (It 'identifies a contact' from the user point of view. The PSM belongs to that user too, but is not identifying, so it should appear as 'less important' so I don't think it's logic to show it bold. But I never saw the thing in M$N. I never use Windows, except at work, where I am not allowed to use MSN. So I can't think of 'we should do it that way, because M$N has it that way.' Also I think its not a crime to be better than the original. ;-) Okay, just to be sure. Did I get it right from what you wrote that M$N shows PSM in bold and appended to the nick? If so, I'm really glad I am not the designer of that. I would be ashamed if I was.... ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
