[Request] Contact Specific Display Names? by Keikonium on 08-24-2006 at 09:20 PM

Is there a way to filter my display name so it says one thing for one person, and something else for another?

For example,

I want person one to see "AJ" and person two to see "Keikonium". Is this possible?

Not possible... due to protocol (at least before WLM, MSN couldn't do this) and I don't believe you can.

The only way of doing this would to use polygamy and have two msn accounts with different names...

Thats what I was afraid of :(. I was thinking cause Chat nicknames were possible, maybe contact specific nicknames were possible.

Thanks for the replies tho guys ^__^ :).

Within chats, technically yes. But it'd take a bit of work and some packet interception.
