Joel Sheriff Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Scotty, sorry if you're already working on this but I just changed my email associated with the new site. I'd like to change my user name to Joel Sheriff or just Joel if using last name is not advisable Thanks again, this site is great. Alot of work but I hope you all know how much we appreciate it.

Bob R Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 I have considered changing my user name as well. Maybe a lot of us would like to do this. Can an "edit" function be added to the settings page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank McElroy Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Chuck, Bob, I changed your display names. Scotty and I have searched for a setting to allow users that were migrated over from our old group to change their display name. There is no such setting that we could find to allow users to change their display name subject to moderator approval. If folks really want their display name changed to either their first name plus either the initial or full last name send me a message and I'll change it. As new members joint, one of the questions asked is for the new member to type in a display name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Display Name changes are enabled. You can change your display name once every 30 days. The PREFERRED Display name is your first name and last initial, or first and last names.

Paul Paul, Send Scotty a message and he will change it for you. I think you have to be a moderator to change your screen name. He changed mine for me.

Paul I'd love to take credit but it wasn't me... It can be changed every 30 days, but apparently joining also counts as changing your name. 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank McElroy Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I recall seeing the name change request and made the edit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
