ladyfingers: I'm serious..I really would like to know who I'm chatting with before I start.
I fully understand I have had two recently one was welcomed from an old friend but the other was a complete stranger. We need a cyber I.D. feature...or would it be I.M.I.D.
I go into my mailbox and along the side it say's im's somewhere -hit that and it will show you who is trying to contact you-that way you can chat or say no....

I agree. Other sites show the person's ID when they contact you. I have some here that I like to chat with but occasionally end up with one I wouldn't want to.
I could not find a real good way to find out who is IMing me and got tired of getting IMed by scammers, so I just simply turned it off. If someone really cared enough, they would ask for my MSN or Yahoo messenger ID...after a few PM contacts first of course.

ladyfingers: I have a question. When you receive an IM, is there anyway that you can find out who it is from before you answer it???
Easy peasy, check who view you to see if this person bother ro look at your profile. And if you want to know who they are just click on their picture on the IM.
