How do I change my age on my Yahoo email?

I would like to change the adress name of my Yahoo! IM. currently it is the same as my Yahoo! email account.?

currently my Yahoo email is stevegarey and my yahoo IM is also the same stevegarey, but i want to have my yahoo IM changed to something else. I have tried everything! I have followed the instructions by going to Messenger, then My Contact Details, then changed stuff to my new desied name, but STILL i only have that same old IM address as stevegarey. I am really frustrated. I even opened a new yahoo email account with the new ID name of stevesurfsoc, and even another steveinoc, and tried to get a new yahoo IM for those ID names, but still no luck, All i ever see on my computer is that old yahoo IM of stevegarey. How can I change my yahoo IM address but not my yahoo email address??? Please help. and many many thanks!!
Answer:

Make a Profile. Go to Yahoo Messenger > Messanger Column > My Profiles > Create/edit profiles > Make profil then SAVE.== Yahoo! Messenger first looks at the "Nickname" field to see if a name is entered. If a nickname is entered, the nickname will be displayed in your Messenger List. If a nickname is not entered, Yahoo! Messenger then looks at the "First/Last Name" fields. If there are no entries in any of these fields, the regular Yahoo! ID will be displayed in your Messenger List.
