Custom Smileys in WLM 9 Beta Wave 3

When ever I send a custom smiley, the other person can see it in their chat
window but i cant see it i mine. This is making conversations VERY confusing
and I am going too have to erase them because I cant see the same they see.
Is there a setting that needs to be changed or is it a gitch? I need to fix
this really bad... thanks for the help.

I'm having the same problem... they should really fix it

Experiencing the same problem as well.

I even tried editing the smiley and saving it to see if it fixed it, but no
go.

I type, for example, the shortcut for a Dying with Laughter smiley ".dwl"
and it shows up like that in my chat window, but my contacts see's the smiley.

Looking forward to the next beta release.

Exactly the same problem here, i've tried uninstalling but still no fix!

I am seeing the exact same thing. Very annoying, to say the least.

I have noticed that I can "see" a custom smilie in the lower box if I select
it from the emoticons tab, but if I type in the exact keystroke that I
assigned to it, it does not even show in the lower box. Only the keystrokes
show in the conversation window.

I have the excact same problem.
If i type the smiley-string i see no smiley in the text field, nor in the
message history. If i select it from the smiley menu it shows up in the text
field but in the message history i only see the string.
How did this get through the alpha tests?

Im using Windows XP SP2

Hi there,

This is a known issue we're looking into at the moment.

Thanks for the feedback!

Are we likely to see a fix before the release of the final version of
WLM 9? Maybe another beta version?
