Personal Message

I always used the personal message feature to display my location. So if i'm
at the office it displayed "@ Office" and my messenger at home had "@ Home"
personal message; that's because the personal message was linked to the
machine (i guess). But recently when I update it I get it reflected anywhere
I sign in !! Also i've been having strange behaviour with the display pics,
being changed from one location to the other !!

Greetings,

This is a new feature of 8.1 actually but you can turn it off. To do so, click the Tools
menu (or press Alt-T on the keyboard if you have the menu hidden), choose Options, click the
General category and uncheck 'Use the same display picture and personal message wherever I
sign in' and click OK.
