I didn't understand what you mean. But;

• Display names in chat logs are the names which are current names while saving that chat.
  
• You must tick an option in WLM preferences for roaming display pictures and personal messages. (Not for display names)
  
• When you change your display name or picture, servers sometimes can't be updated with the new info instantly.

If you would prefer they stayed in place you can turn this off (Tools->Options->General -> Sign In -> "Use the same display picture....")

I think that option is also roaming, I mean, when you change it on one computer, it will change on a second computer accordingly when you sign in there. Because if that option is not roaming, then it would not make sense in my opinion. (I didn't bother to try it)

Nicknames used to be roaming before even Live version of Messenger. But roaming display pictures and personal messages is avaliable only on WLM 8.1 and above. But if you sign in on a previous version before 8.1, then you can't use the display picture and personal message stored on the server.

Nickname is already roaming without that option's effect.

Do you have a Windows Live Space associated with your Windows Live ID which you use in Messenger? If yes, then visit your profile page on your Windows Live Space and check if any picture is stored there. The first picture will be the display picture of Messenger.

Also I'll repeat something;

I have just remembered that, even if you don't have a Windows Live Space, your profile always exists. You can still visit your profile page from "Windows Live Messenger Options window > Personal (First tab) > General Profile part" , click on Edit Profile button there. Then your profile page will be opened and you can still see the picture there.

[list][*]If your display picture exists there, then it means that your messenger sends the display picture to the servers but can't retrieve it.

[*]If it doesn't exist there, then it means that your messenger can't even send the display picture to the servers.

When i click on edit profile button i recive an email from live spaces and it create automatically a live space i go to profile and obviously dont have any photos there because i dont have live spaces before, so photos must be there to roaming feature?, so why i have to do just but a image in msn or what? upload it to profile?

It seems Microsoft is forcing people to have a Windows Live Space. My two test accounts have their own spaces now

Change your display picture (well, you can change your display name or personal message as well) once more from inside Messenger with the roaming option is enabled in your messenger, then visit your profile again. Last picture (and/or name ans psm) may be seen there after that. Don't forget, first picture is Messenger display picture, second one is profile picture.

Even if you can upload new messenger pictures from inside that profile page, I couldn't get it work. After I changed my display picture from that page, my wlm couldn't retrieve it when I signed in. So changing it from that page may not help. Yet, it is worth to give it a try.

Really I don't know why your messenger behaves like that.

PS: I recommend you to "Choose a web address" for your space. It should have given you a temporary strange address which starts with cid-..... You can find the "Choose a web address " link on main page of your space.
