Question

I have a 360 page with yahoo messenger is their any way i can chane my yahoo messenger name and keep my page?

Answer 1

They are separate services, so changing your Yahoo! Messenger alias (or name) will not affect your 360 space as long as it's done under the same account.

There are 3 methods:

- Click on the "Settings" link. Go to "Basic Info" page and go down to the Yahoo Identity Display.

- Click "Create an additional Yahoo! alias" at the bottom at that section. It will take you to your account information.

- Click the "Create A New Profile" button at the top. Go through the process. You can make one profile the default rather than the other if you want. Click the "Finish Editing" button when you are done with any page.

- Log out. Then, log back into Messenger (or 360) using your new profile name and same password.

OR

- Click the "My Account" link at the top of the page next to your "Sign Out" link.

- Sign in and click the "Edit/Create Profiles" link on the right of the page.

- Click the "Create A New Profile" button at the top. Go through the process. You can make one profile the default rather than the other if you want. Click the "Finish Editing" button when you are done with any page.

- Log out. Then, log back into Messenger (or 360) using your new profile name and same password.

OR

- Create ONE extra mail address on your account that has all the mail features of the first one. This is a very convenient option

- See http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/ya... and

http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/or... depending on what type of e-mail you have (original or beta).

- Log out. Then, log back into Messenger (or 360) using your new profile name and same password.

When you finish the process of creating a new profile and you want that profile to be associated with your 360 space, then go back to your first/original 360 page (i.e. log in as that original/main ID).  Click on "Settings" and in that Basic Info page choose the profile you just created in the Yahoo! Identity Display section (make sure to select the Yahoo ID, primary alias, profile default & simple URL options). Deselect the old ID options. Then, click the "Save" button at the bottom.

NOTE: It is not possible to set up an additional Yahoo! Mail account for each main Yahoo! profile. You only have the option of the ONE extra e-mail address. Also, you can have up to 6 profile names on your account (including an extra address and your original ID).
