More than 50% my conversation windows are 100% gray and have no content in them....but they aren't frozen, they close normally.

It's a bit stupid, what if I want to keep my name private?

Is there any chance we get display names back?

It is private - private to your list of contacts. Privacy settings can be changed to hide surname, I believe.

Although if you link your account with Facebook, that name will override.

Facebook has a Community Page up about the Nicknames

Used to be the case, I was looking for it, but it seems to be removed.

IT is probably bundled with one of the other privacy controls like "Personal Information", but individual control over your surname seems to be gone :(.

Interesting, because when you delete the surname and click save it says..

Yeah, that probably left over from when the setting was still there. Irony.

Or I'm just looking at the wrong place? If anybody can find it, let us know.
