[Y!M] IM IDs

[Lenny Vasbinder]

I'm still curious why people get multiple names under the same ID... what's the point?  It doesn't give you more space on your friends list.  Now... I do have two completely separate ID's.. one for work and one for play.. and I don't even like that but I don't understand why some people have 4 or 5 different names.  They're a pain... especially when they want to add all 4 or 5 to my friends list.. which just fills up my list with names that can't even be on 80% of the time.  Like I said, one or two completely separate ID's make sense but more than that starts to waste my time.  :-P   I think Yahoo has figured out that it's wasting their server space as well.. keeping track of who's who.  All your names are so similar, your friends should recognize you from any of them.   Lenny Vasbinder http://www.NeighborhoodHomeServices.com Painting - Interior & Exterior, Hurricane Damage Cleanup, Gutting & Tear-Outs, Sheetrock & Flooring Removal, Handyman Repairs, Homeowner's Contractors Agent (HCA) http://lennyvasbinder.blogspot.com  504-621-1870  eFax - 413-318-0742 [EMAIL PROTECTED]   ***Mardi Gras... the greatest FREE show on earth starts February 17, 2006 through Fat Tuesday, February 28, 2006.  Come on down and help New Orleans recover from Katrina!  This will be the best Mardi Gras ever!!!!!   Message:              Date: Mon, 27 Feb 2006 01:40:14 -0000    From: "Mr The Poet" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: IM IDs   I use Yahoo! Messenger frequently and have been doing so for many years so I don't have much difficulty in being familiar with it.  I think it's the best Messenger yet.   Recently I've had a slight problem.  I use various different IM nicknames on one account.  For example wickerspoetuk but send IMs as either that or londonspoet or londonspoetuk all on one account.  Now, no matter what I send the message as it always displays as wickerspoetuk.  Whereas previously it only showed up as the nickname I had sent it from.  You know where it says Send As on the the IM screen and you can chose which name you wanna send it as.  Whatever name I chose it always shows up as one name having sent it.  Why is this and how can I correct it.  I have tried various things including a complete reinstall without luck!   Any help would be much appreciated.     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Unsubscribe from Yahoo_Messenger    mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Switch from Normal to Digest mail    mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Switch from Normal to NoMail mail    mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Switch from Digest or NoMail to Normal mail    mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Write to the Moderators and Owner of the List:    mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Suggestions for improvements to the List should be sent to the "owner" address listed above.
