How can I change my alias name on my messenger?

Change alias name displayed in messenger while chatting?

• Answer:

  First you would have to create an Alias: HOW DO I CREATE AN ALIAS For every Yahoo ID you can create 6 aliases. In the Messenger menu at the top of Y!M choose My Account Info and once you sign in, on the right you will see where you can create aliases. I will be posting some help links for you that will explain this in detail. One major thing that is different now is that aliases cannot have unique profiles. If you want an alias to have a profile you will have to link it to your main Yahoo ID.

Chat rooms using your Alias: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/messenger/messenger9/chat/mstachatenter.html ---------------- To change the Alias name in an IM window look to where it says: "Send As" in the lower portion of the IM box. Click the down arrow and choose your Alias name. If you had just created an Alias you will need to restart Yahoo! Messenger in order for it to become available to you. Restart means to Exit by right clicking the Yahoo! Icon by your clock and choosing Exit and then relaunch Yahoo! Messenger.
