In my Yahoo IM I appear as my Yahoo ID. I want to change it to my own first name. I can't find where to do that in Yahoo IM or in my Yahoo account settings. How do I change that?

Answer:
Go to messenger>my contact details and enter your name as you want it to appear. That should do it. If you want to go back to your user ID, just delete the info from your first and last name boxes.

If you want it to appear in the chat window, you have to put it as your NICKNAME. Follow Gaius' instructions, but put it in the nickname box. It will show up that way to whomever you talk to.
