emoticons

I've created emoticons that i can get to work in the chat
window by typing the keyboard shortcut, but is the program
preventing me from being able to "decorate" my name with
my custom emo's?? Seems like i can type MSNs shortcuts to
personalize how my name appears but it doesn't work for my
custom emo's. Am i missing something??

It's not possible. And it never will be (I hope).

You know, to get someone else to see your custom emoticon, you are
transfering it to him. This is not a problem while your chatting, since you
then only have to transfer it to 1 person.

But if you would have it in your display-name, everyone from your list
should download that emoticon. This would be too much traffic.
