What are some really good display names for messenger?

How do I get the messenger list to display my contacts by their names instead of their Yahoo IDs?

  • Answer:

    Open the main Yahoo! Messenger window then top tab you will see - Messenger - Preferences - Appearance - bottom of that menu allows you to select to see either Yahoo! ID or nicname or first and last name . Problem there will be if the person has a nicname in thier profile thats what it will show . What you can do is set it to show nicname then right click the ones you wish to change select - Contact Details and set as thier first name or nicname in that menu to the name you wish . One other method you may wish to use would be at the top of the main Yahoo! Messenger main window - Cotacts tab and select show adress book . This may have most of your buddies by thier name instead of ID listing . Again depends on what they have it set as .
