Cant change my nick by Julie12 on 07-01-2008 at 06:21 PM
Hello all
I just wanted to ask how come I can't change my msn nick.Well I changed my nick so I can see it but anyone else can. When I go to Personal settings, the tab where you r supposed to type the nick you want everyone else to see u like in his contanc list. The tab is just grey for me and i cant click it and its my e-mail there so everyone just see my e-mail instead of my nick: I think it could be because of I didnt confirmed the e-mail a year ago 
How can I change it?

Well, since confirming your email address would fix the problem, the obvious solution would be to confirm your email.

And you can do this by requesting a new confirmation email.
1) login to http://account.live.com/
2) click on "confirm email" on top of the account overview page.
3) follow the instructions given in the email

This is also explained when you sign up, and a same comment that you need to confirm the mail is also shown in Windows Live Messenger.
This to prevent abuse and signing up with non-existing or fake email addresses.
See posts above.
