But then when someone randomly adds you, you see whatever alias they set, which is a Bad Thing. Especially since I have so many people that I probably won't know who said person is at all. It could be a setting, or "123456789 (Nickname)" is a possible compromise. > similar thing with MSN... does fire support updating of the nicknames? > if a > buddy changes their MSN buddy nickname... can it show the update in > fire? > ... right now it seems to stick with whatever the first one they had > was. I like being able to choose what other people display as. I also hate it when people change their nicknames every other day and suddenly you don't know who the hell is who (a serious limitation in the official client). In fact, the not-ever-changing-what-people-display-as functionality is one reason why I like Fire more than Proteus (you can set the alias in Proteus, but it can be unset, which means you have to set the alias for everyone if you want to make sure you'll be able to tell who's who). - Purr ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
