Been away for a while and came back to see 5 of these "MSN Error: Friendly name changes too rapidly"
What causes that error?

That is not helpful
Do you have your display name automatically changing somehow, say with an iTunes track script?

No. My display name is "Grrr! %_statusmessage". When I left my Mac I set my status to away, my display name changed to "Grrr! (Ute på äventyr)", no error.

Hm. Because of how the auto-updating system works, %_statusMessage is going to refresh your name every 30 seconds [since you could change it at any point]. I wasn't aware MSN had limits on how fast you could change your name. Does it happen every time?

No this was the first and so far only time. I had the away message up for for about 2 hours and I usually has it up between 1-6 hours. I had the iTunes track script before but never got this message.
