What Happened?

Well I recently installed Windows Live Messenger 8.1 Beta, and I must say I
am fairly disappointed. Firstly, where's the italics and bold? [i] and [b]
seem to have disappeared from the faces of earth. Secondly, this has never
happened before in my previous downloads of MSN or Windows Live Messenger,
but my Display Pictures are now out of order, and I have to search for my DP
among hundreds (Yes, I do have over a hundred DP).

Just say is there any way this can be fixed in the future?

Greetings,

Italics and bold are not features of Messenger. They are features of Messenger Plus which
presently doesn't work with 8.1. Apparently it will be available this weekend as per
Patchou's posting today:

The entire store for emoticons, display pictures and winks has changed in 8.1 which is why
they're out of order. Hard to say if that will get fixed.
