I think until they fix the gateway software that's the only way to do
it.

I'm currently using a public server yes.
Didn't have much luck with the private one so I asked Tim to set it
up; now I wonder how to change my settings on the account.

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.
