How do you change your Instant Message ID?

When I send an instant message it shows my real name. How do I change it so it shows my Yahoo ID? Thank you!?

  • Answer:

    if you're after quick fix.. login to Yahoo! Messenger click on Messenger select My Contact Details at the top is Name: followed by First (Name) Last (Name) Nickname to stop Yahoo! Messenger accessing the default details stored in your Yahoo! Account information, all 3 fields should be complete. if you want to make sure your default details are never sent out then you need to edit your account information (the form you filled out when you signed up for your yahoo id) http://edit.yahoo.com/config/eval_profile Once there... 1.Ignore the first instance of your Names, scroll down the page until you see Address / Contact Information, click Edit... 2. now at the top of the page should be Your Name, edit both fields 3. hit Finished, if prompted, then confirm your password, you will be redirected back to your Yahoo! Account Information page where you can see the changes, if you're happy with the results, click Finish again, then exit out of your browser and log back into Yahoo! Messenger. we have articles covering the options at http://www.wackyb.co.nz/Yahoo!_Messenger_version_8_Account_Information/ and http://www.wackyb.co.nz/Yahoo!_First_and_Last_Name_Showing/ if you need more help :)

To edit your name as it appears in an IM box.. 1. Log into Yahoo! Messenger. 2. Click on Messenger. 3. Clock on My Contact Details. If you want to have your First Name only, delete your Last Name. If you want to use the Nickname field, delete your First and Last name and enter the name you would like to see in the IM box in the Nickname field. If you want only your Account ID to show, leave all fields blank. 4. Alway click Apply and OK when making any changes.
