Is it possible at all to have a "screenname" rather than my real name appearing on WLM2011, just like WLM2009? Because this new system where everyone's real name is up is really annoying. So, yes or no? Because I really dislike this.

Hello Terra,

Windows Live Messenger 2011 always uses the name you set in your Windows Live Profile - there is thus no direct way to set a custom nickname. The workaround is to change your Windows Live Profile name. You can enter a new combination of first and last name at http://profile.live.com/details/edit/name.

Would BBCode work if I entered it on the WLM name thingy?

I've tried... you cannot enter those formating tags in your name.
And even if you do it somehow, the formatting won't apply to the name, the new Plus! only removes the tags as i experienced... : /

Meh, guess I'll have to wait until Yuna Software find out a way to make it possible.
