Silly question... In MSN MEssenger I changed one of my "contacts" names to his first name only i.e. "Alan". Today I signed in and there is the same first name but with what looks like a little sun next to it. What is this?

When you click on it,does it take you to your friends profile details?Maybe he updated some detail in his profile.Not very sure...

If its on the left hand side of the little ms figure it means he's updated his profile or changed I in some way, e.g added to it

Thx Guys. Its actually on the right of the figure and has a dash between it and the figure. So maybe it's a message that he has put in...
