In Yahoo, you have to edit your profile information. When you first signed up to use your screen name, you put, first, last, etc. Go back and remove the anme you can use initials instead

when you add a contact, there is a screen which lets you decide how to display your name to the other user.  \n\nbe sure to delete your real name on this screen.  that's what i do.

What are some numbers I could put behind my username to make sure that it isn't taken? Simply "SRIJAN" on yahoo and hotmail and all the other sites are taken -- SPAM THAT S.O.B.!! lol. So... I can't sign up as that. But what are some numbers I could put behind it to make it unique? What some other things I could do?? \n\n\nI've seen people use their age, year of birth, zip code, area code, the current year in two or four digits.... It's a personal preference type of thing, I hope you find one that fits you.

Karma, you are on yahoo.com and suggesting trillian :P\n\nWith trillian u lose your aliases or identities, you are stuck with your email ID. so if you created frankythefish@yah that becomes ur IM name even though your ID may say popeye...\n\nIncrease your screen resolution to at least 1024 x768 and maximize the window.

ok...there is a trick to it.\n\nThere is a green button on the bottom of the buddy list.  It says IM.  click it and a chat screen will apear.  There is a small box at the top that you write the buddy name.  after you write the name write hi in the message box.  A small warning thing will come up and say "soandso is not availible at the moment"  look at the buddy list and it should be there.\n\ngood luck!

What messenger program are you using?  You need to go into settings or options or preferences or whatever and change the name it shows.  I can't be more specific unless you tell me what program you are using.

You cannot change your name in yahoo messenger.\nThis can be done in msn messenger but not in yahoo.

That depends on which side inputed your last name. If you are in the other persons address book, then they would have to remove it. However, only they are seeing it anyway. If it is in your profile, clcik on "Contacts" then "View Profile..." on Messenger. Then select "View My Profile" and change your info in their.

mostly it depends on the mail service you use. But usually its under options and settings. Look for something like edit profile or something similar.

go to your messenger\nclick "Messenger" button at the top left.\nchoose "Preferences" or press Ctrl+Shift+P\nthen on the list, choose "Ignore list"\nlook for the ID of that person you're going to un-ignore\nclick it, then click "remove"\nthen add that ID by clicking "contacts" at the top of the messenger again.\nthen choose "Add A Contact" or press Ctrl+Shift+A\nthen type the ID..\n\nthere, he/she's un-ignored..\n\n(that's with voice messenger ok? but i'm not sure i hope i helped)

It sounds like you are in a GROUP IM where several people were invited.  Otherwise how would someone read your IM's, they can't log on as you because only 1 instance of an IM name is allowed.  Either that, or don't give out your password to anyone especially friends.

A lot of people have aliases when u add them to messenger there original name appears instead of aliases name I think. It happens to me on my messenger. If u were to add me my name would change to coz I have 2 aliases and my original name.
