Is it possible for me to change my name?(not my username)
I mean the name that is shown in forum, but not the one i log in with; is it possible?

[Mr Skeptic]

If you mean the one in parenthesis after your username, that is a default based on how many posts you've made and how long you've been here, etc. You can't change it, unless you ask a mod for the privilege to do so. If you want to put your real name, you can put it under your description. Click the "My Account" at the top, and select "edit your details"

If I understand you correctly, that is indeed not possible in vBulletin. However, we should be transitioning soon to IPB, which does allow this.

Are robot visits (like googlebot) counted in statistics? I am just wondering what 'number of views' exactly means. Thanks.

[Cap'n Refsmmat]

I think the software is smart enough to recognize Google and other bots and not count their visits in the views counter. I'm not entirely certain, though.

How do you delete your account on here?

Deleting accounts would mess things up for everyone in discussions you've participated in, so is only done with spammers. You can erase your profile information and request to be banned, but that's about as close as you can get to having your account deleted.

In that regard I have a request. Will you permit me to put this paper on the Science Forums website? My sole desire is to solicit comments. (It's okay, I am thick skinned.) If you wish to see the paper before hand, I can e-mail it to you. If you so decide then, how would I go about doing it and in which section of the Forum?

From the sounds of it your idea is more well-developed than most of the crackpottery we usually get, and you seem to be more polite. You can post it in the Speculations forum. Please keep in mind that this is a discussion forum, so if you don't intend to participate in discussion then that would be considered soapboxing. Please read the Rules. Especially relevant for this are 4, 8, and 10 in Section 2.

We also have a thread titled So, you've got a new theory.. which you might want to read.

A detail in one of my posts really bothers me, but it is too late for me to edit it. Can I petition to a moderator or something to get them to edit it for me?

Of course, as long as it doesn't mess with any of the replies made to the post just send a mod or admin a private message with your request. If someone with "staff" under their avatar has participated in the thread it might be slightly easier to ask them as they are more likely to be familiar with the thread but any of us will be happy to help.

Hello everyone, I am new in all this Forum life and I would appreciate if you guys can help me. I want to post a comment in one of the forums and it keep giving me a error message, saying I am not allowed to reply. I already add the person who posted the blog and still nothing. It is a religion Forum.

Thanks.

As explained in the religion forum rules, users must have 30 posts before they can post in the Religion forum. We've had problems in the past with bad behavior there (it's a controversial topic, after all), so we had to limit participation.

[Cap'n Refsmmat]

Just FYI: making the same post 25 times in a row is not an acceptable way to get enough posts to participate in the Religion forum. Please stop.
