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???

Before replying click on contacts. The last person to contact you should be who is now Instant Messaging you.

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.confused

Once it opens , before you write anything, their pic and name will show up, tho you have to let it open, if you dont want to respond, close the window

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.

FYI: This one works if only one person is IMing you at one time.

IMing you."

I agree, you should be able to see who its is before you open the window..I always feel rude closing it, if its someone I dont want to chat to,
