How do I stop my real, full name appearing when I post to a Yahoo group?

Question

I have a BT Yahoo e mail a/c. If I post to any Yahoo group, my real, full name is displayed. I have a choice of three Yahoo aliases but no matter which one I select, my actual name is shown. Everyone I know with a BT Yahoo a/c has exactly the same problem; none of them have ever been able to resolve it. I've tried joining from my googelmail a/c but it immediately recognised me - and revealed my identity again. It's so frustrating to have no privacy.

Answer 1

if it's the yahoo ID- you edit out of the profile name and nick name area's and also My Account, back space out the name there

Answer 2

Try this:Click options above your mail box to the right.  Scroll down and click General preferences.  Make your changes click save at the bottom.

Answer 3

Use a fake name, never ever use your full name when filling out a form that asks for your real name.  I always just use a fake last name.
