Hi Guys,

I have just bought a new macbook laptop and I have installed Yahoo Messenger but it has a tiny aesthetic issue which I was wondering if anyone knew the solution to.

When I log in to yahoo messenger my friends who are online appear, however their names / nicknames do not show. Instead its just their e-mail addresses. On my other mac when I log in to yahoo all of my contacts who are online appear with nicknames (for example, on my other machine a user appears as "Kate" in the online list, on the new macbook she appears as "kate@emailaddress.com").

Is there a setting or something that I am not doing? I have used yahoo on other computers and they too load the nicknames. Any help is really welcome!
