You’d be correct, Melody. Yahoo! Profiles were deleted entirely, which left us only able to change our nicknames via Taiwan, but since they changed the service to Yahoo! Pulse, all nicknames have been permanently deleted. Even old ID’s will display as just an ID.

It’s disappointing since a lot of people, easily within the thousands, preferred to use nicknames or “tags” to identify themselves, but Yahoo apparently decided that amidst removing everything else that the user community liked, they’d go ahead and put the icing on the cake and remove the last thing that made Yahoo Chat worthwhile. I expect Yahoo! Chat to eventually be abandoned in favor of older but still more reliable services like IRC, TeamSpeak, Ventrilo, and the like.

After removing user rooms, and then adding Captcha (which bots still get through), removing profiles, and finally removing nicknames? Yahoo! Chat has practically nothing left except being a text-based chat room that also supports optional voice. Oh, and a room full of trolls.

If what I’ve heard is right, even the nicknames that we’ve given old accounts now have been terminated. Every username is stuck being just that – a username.

Nicknames no longer exist.

Well, things have changed dramatically with the introduction of the new profile system. I believe it’s now impossible to change the nicknames at all, as they’ve edited the “Change Name” section in the Pulse Taiwan section to “Change Number.”
So, if you want a different nickname/tag, you’re going to have to find a new way yourself, or keep browing the net. Good luck to you, brothers and sisters.

Duncan’s website works, so go ahead and use it. Seems Yahoo is going to try and get rid of all our shortcuts little by little.

They’ve changed the link to set your region back to where you’re originally from, such as the one Melody gave. The new one is this one right here:
