How to instant message someone?

How come when i instant message someone it shows my name....is the person i am instant messaging seeing it?

  • how would i change it so all they see is my online member name for example when i go to yahoo it says welcom [email protected] does not use my real name

  • Answer:

    yes, because you signed up for the account using your name. go to edit on your messenger toolbar and somewhere it should say options. edit your name and it won't show your name anymore.
