| Vista Ultimate | Certain contacts appear as their email address? When I logged on today, some of my contacts appeared as their email address instead of their username. I've asked them if they changed anything, and they checked and said they didn't. Is this a possible glitch with the server (either the one my email is on or theirs)? All help is appreciated. |

| | Re: Certain contacts appear as their email address? Hi, Same here. Also, contacts appearing offline when they're not, and people appearing online when they're not really there. It looks like some sort of server is stuck or desynchronized or something. As per usual, this will probably be addressed soon. Although I only noticed it late this afternoon, given the timestamps of your queries, it looks like there have been issues all day. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2009 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "Rage Skywolfe" <RageSkywolfe@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:9B8E4780-4EB2-45A9-8FE8-7F8FD7028B33@xxxxxx Quote: > I am having that same problem. started last night. glad someone posted on > this.. you beat me to it . lol > -- > Four Generations Of Trust And Betrayal...One Legacy > > Skywolfe > > > "Yue Fei" wrote: > Quote: >> >> When I logged on today, some of my contacts appeared as their email >> address instead of their username.

| Vista Ultimate | Re: Certain contacts appear as their email address? Thanks for the response. It appears some of my contacts have their usernames showing, and other contacts just appearing as their email address. I figure it's not something to be worried about, so I can live with it until it gets fixed. Again, thank you for the response.  Quote: Originally Posted by Jonathan Kay [MVP]  Hi, Same here.
