are you using a public jabber server? I only ask because the display stuff
in iChat seems to vary a lot from person to person, and i wondered if it
could be server settings affecting things.

No, that doesn't work, ugg. Also to my MSN contacts Joshuatubbs1 is
displayed, and I don't want that.

Joshua,
If you go to the view menu from the buddy list window, in there you'll
find a submenu called buddy names. Currently it sounds to me like
display by handle will be selected. If you change that to either
display full or short names (i can't tell the difference between those
two), you should start seeing what you're asking for.
Hope that helps
Scott

Subject: Contact names in IChat
Hi all,
I am just wondering where I can change my contacts display names,
because it's really frustrating me that it's being displayed by email.
The thing is, for a friend of mine, he didn't have to change his names
manually. He can also see if people change there MSN nickname. The
reason I wanna change it to this if I can is that ACB Radio
Interactive puts this stuff in there name, like what DJ is on, and if
I change it manually it'll just be ACBRI or something boring like that.
So just wondering if I can get the names from the MSN service and it
automatticly displays them the way it should?
Thanks.
