Google talk help- problem solved

[Schwarzenegger]

I have a little problem with google talk. My first and last name are displayed on my friends list, and I can't figure out how to either display just my first name, or another name. I changed it onthe account settings, but it's still my frist and last name :?

 

 

 

Please help :)

you could remove your last name from your personal information so then it only has your first name to look to.

When i used google talk, by default it was saying my first name, maybe if you try re-installing that, it might fix the problem.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another possible fix would be to go to gmail, go to settings, then go to accounts, and then click the edit info link next to the send mail as section, then set your name as whatever you want google talk to display your name as.

Yes and besides, you have to have both fields (first and last) filled out :(

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Devil, I just checked out the forums. It seems a lot of other people are having the same problem, and have tried the same thing as me, uninstalling, changing name, etc. And some of them have said that there is a delay, and their name automatically changed after a couple of days. I hope that it's true. Thanks for the links 8)

ah i remember now, when you message someone it will only show your first name. I remember now why i set my name to be my nickname then my normal surname :P
