I am assuming that you're talking about the yahoo messenger.\n\nIt could be that you've your friends in the ignore list or reported as spam , hence you will not be able to add them. If this is the case then you wouldn't be able to invite others ; some error would show up.\n\nThere's another possibility (only if you can successfully add ppl as your friend but they just don't show up in the list ) that you've unchecked the option -  "Show offline contacts" . In this case only the online friends would show up. This can be undone as follows :\n\nY!Messenger -- > Contacts ---> Check the option - "Show Offline Contacts".\n\nLastly, you might have checked the option "Show Address Book" instead of "Show Messenger List" in the contact tab fo yahoo messenger. This can be corrected as follows :\n\nY!Messenger -- > Contacts ---> Check the option - "Show Messenger List".

First you have to either open yahoo messenger or download yahoo messenger and then open it. You have to add their name to your friends. Then when the little window is open where you are talking to them, you will see near the top of the page, their name. It should say right next to their name view my webcam. You just click on that.

On the main menu click "Messenger" select "My Profiles" from the menu. This will open a window where you can create, edit, and manage your user profiles. \n\nCreate a new nickname you think would really suit you. Once you create it, it will show up as a new entry in blue. The blue is a link. click on the new ID and it will open the main page for editing Profiles. Select your the name you just created and click edit, set as default.\n\nNow you can use this nickname in the Messenger, in chat room, in groups, in Answers, in any Yahoo! program which uses a nickname. \n\nGood luck and lots of fun

Rather than battle it out with Yahoo, why not try an alternative messaging client which supports your Yahoo name.\n\nhttp://www.adiumx.com/\n\nAdiumX lets you bring all your messaging usernames into one interface so it will connect into Yahoo and show all your buddies and stuff which Yahoo does. I use for MSN and AOL and love it.

Sign in to your Yahoo Messenger.  If you want to chat to any of your contacts listed in the contact list, just click on their name if they are on line.  Once you click on their name, another window will be opened and you can start chatting with him.  If you want to do voice chat, please select the option of yahoo chat from that window.\n\nHowever, if you want to chat with some other people, who is not in your contact list, please follow these steps:\n\n1)  Click on the Messenger on the top of the Messenger window.\n2)  Click of yahoo chat.\n3)  Click on join room.\n4)  Another window aill appear showing the chat rooms\n     available.\n5)  Click on the topic of chat room.\n6)  List of people in that chat room will appear.\n7)  Click on the name of the person with whom you would\n     like to chat.\n8) If that person responds positively, you cn start chat with him/\n    her.

I use AOL, so this may be a bit different, but:\n1. Add yourself to your Buddy List\n2. Click on Buddy Chat \n3. Type in the name of the chat you want to go to - you should be able to invite yourself.

You may have allowed them to add you without adding them.  Check your address book.  Delete all folks from your address book that you are not interested in seeing. I've had that problem before too.  \n\nI didn't want anyone on my friends list so I never added anyone, but I allowed people to add me, but somehow preferences were set up so that whoever added you got automatically saved to address book and you see them when they come online, though they are not part of your friends list.  \n\nI don't know if this will help you, but it's worth a try.  Can be a pain if u allowed a lot of people to add u. \n\nGood luck! - Maria

You can only change the name when you create it. To do that, select who you want to add to the chatroom and hit Chat. Then where it says "Chat room: Chat 290455..." just put in something else. However, if this chatroom already exists, it will add you to it anyway.

If you are using messenger programs, maybe one of your contacts have logged in. You cannot see other IDs that are not in your contacts. You can only see your friends when they are online of offline.\n\nYahoo! and other mail programs are always strict on other people's IDs and privacy. They WILL NEVER show you a time where people would log in or out.\n\nYour issue is on messenger. You contacts are logging in and out.
