no, guys, that doesn't work! the problem isn't in options... you can't see your emoticon if you don't write some text behind it... sometimes you have to write more text, sometimes less... don't know why, but for now it's the only way to see them... some bug, i think... try that, it works for me...

I want just the opposite: to STOP showing custom emoticons. My friends just love them to the point of making their messages illegible. Unchecking the "Show custom emoticons" box not only does nothing, but if I return to the options windows later it is checked again.

I am on a Mac and my version of MSN Messenger no longer displays custom emoticons. I just don't get it. I already upgraded to the most recent version so I have no clue as to why it suddenly stopped working. Maybe a bug in the Mac version? Anyone with a possible solution, your comments will be most appreciated!

Sidenote: I already have the show custom emoticons thing checked and what not so that is NOT the culprit. Please help!

Did you install something from Smiley Central? A friend did and now none of her custom emoticons work (come out as blank) only the default ones. I wouldn't touch S Central with yours, mate!

Guys, I've found the solution...
I had the same problem and now its fixed!!

Ok here goes...
You can turn emoticons on and off like this (Remember, this only affects YOUR chatbox. whether or not your buddies can see emoticons depends on their own personal settings)

1) launch Messenger
2) click Tools
3) Click options, then messages
4) Then check the box show emoticons and custon emoticons
5) click apply and then OK

wooh that's it....
i think if you have an older version then
go onto this site : http://www.virtualafghans.com/services/tech_tips/tip3.asp

good luck!
ravi
