I recently joined a yahoo chat group, but didn't want my full name appearing on messages. How do I fix this?

Question

Does yahoo have a phone number so I can work with them to also make sure my full first and last name doesn't appear on things I don't want it to? Also, I'd like to delete my full first and last name from a message that's already appeared, and substitute my yahoo id name for it.

Answer 1

unless you're a paying customer with Yahoo, there is no phone number. non paying users will be directed right back here.

where do you see your full name? on the group or in e-mail? most times when you have your full name on your profile in the area of real name and nick name, it shows up on posts on the home page. you need to edit it out

Answer 2

Click messenger on the top left, click "my contact details"

When you are PMing someone, you will still see your real name, but the other person wont.

Yahoo customer care.
