yahoo IM is using my real name instead of my yahoo I.D. Anyone know how i can change it back to use my I.D.?
I recently updated yahoo IM and ever since it has used my real name in the IM dialogue box instead of my yahoo I.D. i have looked around all over in the preferences and different tabs in the messenger and cant find anyway to change it back to my yahoo I.D. i would prefer not to have every person i chat with to know my real name so any help would be greatly appreciated.
