That is NOT what I said. I did never say that.
Please read again what was posted, especially the screenshots I posted. You should NOT copy/paste your name.

I suggest you read what Tochjo said in his post again. That's twice now you have stated something that is wrong ;)

You do NOT go into the options or paste anything. You change your nick name in a conversation window using the /nick command!! :)

Sunshine told you exactly, and my screenshots are very, very clear :-/
Read especially the last line below my screenshots: "After that, press Enter or click Send". Look at the screenshots, it shows exactly how to do it.

To get colours in your display name, use the /nick command exactly as Tochjo showed in the post here

Nickname and display name are the same thing ;)

EDIT: Can you see how many helpful people we all have trying to help you? :)

easy, as tochjo said. In a conversation window type /nick (hold ctrl and hit k, then a list of colours will come up. choose a colour) [#or colour will appear here] Nicname so it will be like such:


/nick2 (box from ctrl+k)# Nickname.


Do this all in a conversation window, no need for copy and pastes:)


Edit: sorry guys, didnt know you posted it again after he asked how to use /nick.

Not to worry. Its horrible when you can't see something that everyone else can. I've done that before!! You can see now that the nick function does all the hard work for you ;)
