How can i change my screen name?

How can I change my screen name!?!?! PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

  • on yahoo messenger! on my screen name it says my e-mail and I want to change that to my name HOW CAN I DO IT??? plz help! :*(

  • Answer:

    1.Click the Messenger menu and select My Contact Details. 2. Fill in BOTH the First and Last name you’d like others to see for you in Yahoo! Messenger. 3. When you're finished, click Save & Close. Important: If you leave your First name blank here, the first and last names you entered under “Address/Contact Information” in your ID’s account details (when you originally set up the ID) will be used. The same is true of your Last name: if you leave it blank here in Yahoo! Messenger’s Contact Details window, Yahoo! Messenger will grab both the first and last name from the information you initially stored for this Yahoo! ID. Anyone who already added your older name information to their Messenger List or Address Book will continue to display that information in their Messenger Lists and Address Books. If you want them to see your ID differently, you should request that they remove you from their Messenger Lists and/or Address Books, and then Add you again as a new contact with your new information. Changing Your Name Display In Yahoo! Messenger Will NOT Affect The Display Of Your Name Anywhere Else Across Yahoo!

While logged on, click on the Messenger drop down menu and click on "My Contact Details". You should be able to change it there by either choosing your actual name, or a nick name. You should know that even if you change it, anyone who already has you in their friends list will still see your e-mail address as your screenname.

You have to sign up for a new account and delete this one or let it sit and after a period of time, yahoo will delete it. you cannot just change the id you have to sign up for a new account.
