Cant change local alias

[ChO₂]

I'm afraid that you might have misunderstood something (although I might
be on the wrong track with this assumption):

- The local alias is only local, that's why it's called a _local_ alias.
It is *only* shown to *You*, not to other users. Your buddies will see
your friendly name (or an alias that they gave to you) instead.

- You need to click the "Save" button when you close the "edit account"
window if you want to save your changes, not "Cancel".

- The local alias is account-specific.

If you're sure that you understand how local aliases work, please double
check twice that it's really broken.

Hello pidgin people :)


A few days back my windows crashed and I had to restart. After that
Pidgin will only display my email address for my MSN account as my
alias. I've tried to change the local alias in Manage Accounts many
times but it wont work. I then tried upgrading from 2.5.5 to 2.5.6 as I
noticed a newer version was out. But that didnt help either.


Im hoping someone have a suggestions to what I can do to make this work
again? :-)




Best regards
Sune
