I have played around with adding variations of my name to the Advanced tab which works fine with the 'Where i am' tick box un-selected but the minute i turn it on again the formatting skips messages that aren't my exact display name.

Is there something i've missed or is this an error in the program?

I know this is not exactly a developers question but i have used MS answers and read everything i could find on the internet about it and still haven't sorted it out so am hoping someone here can clarify for me please.
