I was expecting a distinction between login name and display name (and figured I could enter my full name in the user cotrol panel), but apparently there isn't? :confused:

Could one of you administrators change my name to 'Pieter van Dieren'?

Thanks! :D

Pieter,

You can do that yourself. Just go to the User CP (Control Panel) and you can change all kinds of things about your account.

you can change all kinds of things about your account
except your login name which is also the display name!

What would it take to have our company title under our names/user name i.e. where 'junior' currently is?

Not in my control panel...
But one of you already changed it for me.
Thanks! :)

Hi,

I was also expecting a difference between my login name and display name. I would also appreciate an admin changes my login-name to "Alexandre Leclerc".

Best regards.

Hendrik,

We have set the ability to assign custom user titles for registered users. Use the UserCP and this should now show as one of the options for you to set.

I just did as Stephen suggested (set custom user title) & don't see any change?

It seems to work for me, it must be just you. ;)
What did you change it to?

Stephen W. Meeley

Please try it again. We may have to set the permissions for existing users one-by-one.

Garret Mott

I just tried it again.

As to what, I seriously considered "Dummyhead", but instead got boring & put a space between my names.

Maybe it'll work now?

Wait a sec - that just changes the "Junior Member" not my name...

I also was expecting that distinction - would have preferred "Joe Coley" as display name, and JColey as username -- oh well, this isn't our application :-)

Joe Coley
19-Feb-2009, 01:37 PM
Looking in the profile I don't see the ability to change my name either --
REQUEST that username Jcoley be changed to Joe Coley please.

All done! Just refresh your screen to see the change :D

I tried to change the "Title" field to "DataPower", but after saving the title appears as "****Power" :(

Yes that happened to me. Great to have the word "Data" sensored on a Dataflex website isn't it!!

I see I'm very late to the party and all the others had their names changed days ago. I would like "Anders Ohrt", if it's not too late. =)

Dennis,

Prior to the switch, I had created a profile for 2 email accounts I know I used in the last few years. The account I am using now is "David Martinko", and the alternate account I created for my other email is "DavidMartinko". Is it possible to merge these two accounts together?

If you are able to do that, it would put my stats at around 2000 posts. Thanks for checking.

Hi David,

we're looking into it.

Hi Dennis

I am in a similar boat, my posts on the newgroups were under the name Thomas Murphy where as I signed up here as Tom Murphy (originally tomurphy), would be cool if you could tie up my old posts - if you can. Do you need any other information?

It appears my name did not strick after the forum initialization. This post is to test if new messages do have the right custom title attached.

Ah, good, this does work OK...
