Title: Name Change
Post by: Diane Elizabeth on July 18, 2011, 01:04:38 AM
  Okay, I would like to change my name on my profile.  A group of my girlfriends and I have decided that Dyan does not suit me.  We have decided that "Donna" is more like me.  How do I change my name in the profile?

There's a "Profile" pulldown menu near the top of the page.  Hover over that and then click on "Account Settings" from the menu.  You'll see a box that says:

Name
This is the displayed name that people will see.

Type your preferred name in that box and that will be your name on the forums! :)

Thank you Zoe.  As you can see I have it corrected.  My other question is the username.  Can that be changed?

Nope... that one's pretty much etched in stone.  But nobody will see it unless they either look at your profile, send you a PM, or receive a PM from you.  For some reason, the PM system works on username instead of forum name.  But for all other intents and purposes, everybody will just see Donna. ;D
