Does anyone know why when my friend signs off of Yahoo, at the bottom of the screen there are two messages saying XXXX has signed off. When chatting with anyone else there is the usual one box saying xxx has signed off. Is it possible this person is using another chat client? Has anyone seen this before?
The reason there are two boxes is because the person has aliases, or more than one name. You probably have both names of that person on your list. And other people only have one of their names on their friends list. The person has to go into options and click to NOT show alias.
Hi Netti, You are correct. I have his main id as well as an alias on my list. However, I actually get 4 boxes at the bottom. 2 for his main id and 2 for the alias. Weird.

It’s a yahoo glitch, i would get that a lot too. If i had that person’s main id and alias i would see 4 boxes, and if i only had their main name i would see 2 boxes. It goes away on its own and comes back rarely. Nothing major to worry about, unless you find it really annoying, you can change it in preferences to not show the box when a person logs out.
