Hello. I was wondering, like when you hover over a person on your buddy list and there's that tooltip with stuff, now since like beta3 or beta4 .. there's a "Nickname: " part in it. What exactly is that showing? Like sometimes the Nickname and the actual screen name of the person I see is the same case wise..other times, they are different case wise...What's "Nicknames: " really showing? Thanks...hope to hear from someone.

Nickname should show the actual nickname that the person is using. If you've aliased a person in your buddy list, you might see something different in the tooltip than in your buddy list. The tooltip is also useful for reading people's entire nicknames when they're so long they get truncated in the buddy list.
I'm not sure why there's no nickname field in the tooltip for ICQ. ICQ allows you to set a nickname, but AIM doesn't seem to display it.
