Syncing MSN screen name on several Macs

Whenever I change the screen name on one Mac, it does not automatically change on another machine (official MSN messenger for Mac and Windows both do that). Is this kind of a bug? Is there any plan for fixing it? Thanks.

In one sense, it's a bug... it's also a really weird feature of MSN. We've discussed fixes for it... may or may not see one on the near future.

Thanks for the prompt reply. I am looking forward to a fix
. It seems like a neat feature to me. I use a lot of computers at different places and I change the screen name all the time. So it would really be nice to keep the screen name on the server and have all client sync to the server.
