HowTo - Change Your Username!

[Reciever]

Good Evening Everyone!

 

This guide will be aimed more towards new members or members not familiar with this type of Forum software. 

 

On NBR we used to have to request for a name change in a thread made by @Charles P. Jefferies who thankfully facilitated these requests.

 

On this Forum software, we can make these changes on our own via the Account Settings tab. To begin, assuming you are at the home page, direct your attention to the top right of your screen where your Handle (the name you use on the forum) is displayed. Next to it you will notice an arrow, this is to denote a menu being available. Click on it, as highlight below. 

 

 

With that, a number of options will become available, for the purposes of this guide however, we will need to select "Account Settings". As highlighted below.

 

 

Once within your Account Settings, you will need to direct your attention to the center left side of the screen for the list of options provided there. Direct your attention to "Display Name" as highlighted below. 

 

 

Once you have selected this option, the page will remain but the sub-menu will change to that for altering the Display Name. As can be seen below.

 

 

Keep in mind that all your previous alias's will still be listed in your profile, so while your public facing identity will change, if anyone looks at your profile they will see your previously listed names. All members will be limited to making 1 name change every 120 days, so do be mindful when selecting your name. 

 

If there are any additional questions or critiques, please feel free to forward them to me.

 

Thanks everyone!

Thank you for these great tutorials! I had looked for that option before and couldn't find it, and checking again now it does seem like that section is missing from my account settings:

 

I guess it is disabled for regular users?

This shouldn't be the case, but I will look into this today 

 

I have made some changes, this option should now be available. @Ishatix

Tested and confirmed to be working now as you can see. Guess I'll be trying out this new name now for a 120 day trial period at least 😄

I can change it back if you would like, thank you for confirming :)
