Please note that the VYS will not search for custom aliases. However, searches performed for a valid user will reveal the user's custom alias. Go to Account Information to enter your custom alias. Also, if a user changes his custom alias, his or her previous custom alias is now available for another user to adopt. A nickname is an additional searchable name field in your VYS record.
Nicknames are also useful for listing both maiden and married names.
If your name is currently different from the name in your preassigned alias, you can create a custom alias to reflect your current name and also add a nickname to your VYS record so your friends can search for you using your current name. Most email clients give you the flexibility to specify your reply-to address. This is the address which people will see when they respond to your email. The procedure for adjusting your settings will vary according to which email program you are using. Click on Personal Identity and enter your VYS alias in the Return Address field.
