I use messenger strictly for chat and i use a lot of custom emoticons. I see that skype has no support for custom emoticons. Will I still be able to use my old messenger application? If one of my friends and myself still retain the old application, will we be able to log in, chat and send each other custom emoticons?
Will my Skype have badges, winks, or custom emoticons?

when i send emoticons my friend can see but i can't see what ever he/she sends to me. even i can't see what ever emoticon i sent on my screen pls let meknow how to eradicate this problem?

 

emoticons don't show up on the conversation window of Windows Live Messenger, it shows the "typed" version.... for example its show :) for a smile instead of the smilingface
I dislike the emoticons , much prefer the older version of LIve Mail that I used before my computer crashed. Is there a way to remove emoticons so they are not the default?
Everytime my friend writes an O it has this person blowing bubblegum to look like an O. So I clicked add and now everytime I write O that emoticon comes up. But how do I get rid of it?
