How can I change my Yahoo name and UserID registered under my Yahoo email account?

For example, where it says Hi ';xyz'; when you log into Yahoo - I don't like that name and want to change it. I had also made up a fake name when I originally registered and want to change it. Under edit account, I didn't see these options.How can I change my Yahoo name and UserID registered under my Yahoo email account?
The user ID can't be changed, but you can change your screen name for different Yahoo services.



For YA:

Go to your profile by clicking on your avatar, click ';edit my info';, go to ';nickname';, mark ';use another nickname';, type it in the box. You have 22 characters to work with. Click ';preview'; and then ';okay';.



For the messenger:

Go to your yahoo messenger friends list. Click on messenger, then click on ';my contact details';, underneath the box in which you could enter your first, last and middle name is a box that says nickname. Enter your new nick, save it and you're done.



If users already added you to their messenger list and/or address book, your old name setting will continue to get displayed for them. If you want those users to see your new name also, ask them to remove you from their messenger list and/or address book and add you back with your new info.



Name change for mail:

Click ';options'; (top right) on your mail page, click ';general preferences';. In ';name and e-mail'; you may change which name appears in the ';from'; field for mails you want to send. In ';reply to'; changes are also possible. Make sure you save your new settings. Note: you should sign out and back in again to make sure that the settings are working.How can I change my Yahoo name and UserID registered under my Yahoo email account?
Open another YA account, it's legal if you don't use it for cheating. You can use that account for posting on boards. But I suspect that the changed YA screen name is also used for the message boards, at least that's how it works for me.
