Your name instead of email on posts

Your name instead of email on posts

2001-08-20 by Antonis Ricos

Folks,

Mark Tucker was kind enough to show me how to change my profile on 
Yahoo so that my name appears instead of the email ID. I am providing the 
info below for those of you who would like to do the same but just never 
bothered to find out how (as I did).

--- click Account Info at the top of the Yahoo list page
--- click on Edit/Create profiles (to the right of the page that opens)
---click on Edit next to your profile in the list that appears at the top of the page
---click on Edit Profile Information, also at the top of the page
---write your name - or whatever abbreviation you choose - under "Real 
Name". 

Of course, you are free to fill or not fill out anything else you like. I just thought 
it looks nice to see a name rather than just a garbled ID.

Sorry, just wanted to see how it works.
Good idea Antonis.
Will choose a hybrid name for some times.
