Beta 9 Custom Emotes

In Windows Live Messenger, when i use custom emotes, 5% of the shortcuts used
for them actually show the icon on the typing bar others will not...same as
the chat box, however, on the recieveing end my emotes will always work.. ex

-Person A's computer- (Windows Live Messenger 9 Beta)

Person A says: /skiprope *(emote not displayed)*
Person B says: haha she skips pretty good!!!
Person A says: dont you just se the word "skiprope"?
Person B says: nope, i see the emote
do you see mine? /swing *(emote is displayed)*
Person A says: Yup



-Person B's computer- (Windows Live Messenger 8)

Person A says: /skiprope *(emote is displayed)*
Person B says: haha she skips pretty good!!!
Person A says: dont you just se the word "skiprope"?
Person B says: nope, i see the emote
do you see mine? /swing *(emote is displayed)*
Person A says: Yup

Some custom emotes (extreamly small percent) will work like normal.
Anyone else experience this?

Re: Beta 9 Custom Emotes

Greetings,

You have an awesome name

But yeah, this is a known issue, and apparently has already been addressed; sadly it'll be
awhile before we get that version.
