Unable to see the nickname bug? by jacky2 on 09-28-2007 at 11:37 AM

Hi guys...a strange thing happens on my msn and I'd like to know if it's a known bug or not...sometimes the nickname of some of the contacts turns into the e-mail address..and then turns back normal in some minutes...but they're absolutely not modifying it! Is it just me or is it some sort of bug? I'm on 8.5 beta2 (the latest) and Vistax64

This has never happened to me (winXP).

My messenger does with toast message when people sign in a lot... It should be their name, but it shows Email. Don't think it's specific to BETA though as I've gone back to 8.1.

Does it happen with the contact list too?

no idea on how to do it and I don't think they would consider just "one" report.

If it happens in one instance, it could happen in more, they will have to fix it.

I never had it in the contact list, but that may be down to the view you are using to list your contacts in
