Hi, It seems like this is an issue for users of multi im clients. When you change your name you'll need to change it again the next time you sign back in. Might be easier for your contact to rename you on their end. On Mon, 11 Jan 2010 19:54:25 -0500 Lynn Schneider canepri...@gmail.com

Hi, That's not my issue. My issue is mainly when I change it, it doesn't always update. This seems to be happening mainly for people using Windows Live services. It's a weird behavior. Regards, Nic Skype: Kvalme MSN Messenger: nico...@home3.gvdnet.dk AIM: cincinster yahoo Messenger: cin368

You can find this setting on the personal tab of adium preferences. Make sure the second of the two radio buttons is checked, that will give you no icon I believe, then type your name as you want others to see it. Best, erik burggraaf A+ certified technician and user support consultant.

I have a similar problem, but rather than it showing my e-mail address, it displays my first name, which I believe it has gleaned from the registration info I entered when I originally set up my mac. Dannie On 12 Jan 2010, at 12:32, May McDonald wrote: I never have that problem. Mine stays

Hi, If you don't change the setting for your icon for your Adium, it will also, by default, seemingly use your picture for the account on your Mac. I accidentally took a snapshot when I was setting up my Mac, and someone said that there was an ugly bugger on their MSN list. ;). Mine did it by

Hi everyone. One of my MSN Messenger contacts pointed out to me recently that my display name is now no longer Lynn, but is showing as canepri...@hotmail.com, which is my MSN Messenger username. I don't remember changing that, but how do I get it back to my correct display name again? Thanks
