I just downloaded Beejive and really like it, but have a few questions and was wondering if someone could help me! On iChat on my Mac, I have my buddies not displayed by their screennames, but instead by their real names. It looks like you can do that in Beejive, since the developer put pictures of that on the App Store page, but I can't figure out how to do this. Anybody know??

Second question is, does anybody know if there is a way to hide or minimize certain buddy list groups?

Thank you! :)

For Q#1, this depends what IM you have, I've got Y! IM and here's what I do

Tap the buddy you want to change their name, tap Nickname, change that to whatever you want as their real name (or alias)

Somehow I've read there's a "screenname" field.

Here's the support link.

For Q#2,

I haven't heard of that feature yet, only hide the offline buddies or sort them alphabetically or status.

Thanks for your help! Adding their names as nicknames was exactly what I wanted. (I'm a little new to iPhones). Hiding groups would be nice but it's no big deal, I can live without that! :)
