Vista - Emoticons

02-07-2008

When I try to send emoticons through messenger, the recipient of the message
sees the emoticon, however I see the keystrokes on my end. also when i try
to nudge somebody, it states that they're version of messenger is older and
does not accept, however their version is the same as mine, and that person
can nudge me.

Greetings LD,

You may want to verify that emoticons are actually turned on. To do so, open up the menubar
in the window by pressing the Alt key on the keyboard, choose Tools and then choose Options.
Click the Messages category on the left and then make sure the two emoticon options at the
top are selected. If you have to make any alterations here after clicking OK, close the
current conversation window and open a new one with the contact for the change to take place.

As for the nudge problem, have either of you been tinkering with your client with third-party
patches and the like?

Nice try ... ofcourse this is spam. SweetIM also shows up on several warning
sites as having ad- and malware, also browser exploit and so on. So do not
download this stuff!!
