Vista - I cant see Custom Emots in updated Live Messenger but recipients c

I have just updated my messenger to the latest version of Windows Live
Messenger (I was using an old version of MSN messenger beta before). I have
a lot of custom emots; these are still appearing on my emot list, and when I
use them the person I am sending messages to can see them, however I can't -
all I see is a blank space!

I have heard of this happening to other people but just cannot find out what
the problem is or how to solve it. Can someone please help, its driving me
mad!!
Thanks :-)

Thank you David, is it best to reinstall an older version until the new beta
version is available? Would this mean I get the emots back?

Greetings,

The bug David is referring to is in the current beta version of Messenger (14.0.5027.908) and
not the latest released version (8.5.1288). In the bug in question, instead of seeing the
emoticon, you see the text of the emoticon, like [hello].

So to be clear, if you are not using this beta version then you are referring to something
else not covered by that bug.

Thanks Jonathan, it was the latest released version I believe, which I was
made to upgrade and download as I was using a pretty old version of MSN
Messenger beta. I dont see the text of the emots - when I type the emot text
in I see it as I type but then as soon as I send it, the whole thing
disappears. I can't see the emot or the emot text in the conversation window
but the person I am messaging can see the emot itself. This same thing
happened about 4 months ago on another PC I was using which had an up to date
version of Live Messenger, but the problem resolved itself within a day.
However this has been going on for 4-5 days now. Any ideas as to what it is
and what I can do about it please?

Thanks for your advice
