Change Display Name Rate Topic: -----

#1 Xittenn 


Atom
I had--really stupidly--changed my display name back in May. The Change Display Name tab was allowing us to change our nicks every 180 days. On Saturday I was going to be able to change my nick, but the tab suddenly disappeared on Friday.

I understand if Administration decided to change the policy on this, but now I'm stuck with my shame. I was really hoping to just go back to using Xittenn as it is the nick I go by everywhere else. If this might be corrected for me, it would be much appreciated?? I promise to stop being a git ( I blame hormones ). . . It had occurred to me that the tab might be glitched where I used it and broke it and everyone else still has the tab . . . . I actively imagine scenarios like these :/

I much appreciate what you guys are doing here, thanks!

We turned off the name-change feature for established members, since it tends to cause confusion.

Since the majority of your posts are from before you made the name change, I've changed it back for you.

I heard you scream all the way at my house! :blink:

Hey, no thread hijacking but did anyone notice a smiley in the post of new member, probably one who has joined that day, in the tab showing name?

When you post, you can select an image to be displayed at the top (like the smiley here). Is that what you saw?

Use the full editor and go down to "Options" and click where it says "click to configure post options." You can select an icon there.
