New or different forum names....
« on: May 12, 2011, 09:03:26 AM »
I think we need a required sticky thread cross referencing anyone who signed up for the new forum under a different name than on the old forum.  I really don't want to say the wrong thing to guys that I used to like and respect.  On the other hand, I may compliment someone who was a ***** on the old forum - can't have that  :o

I agree that would be handy. I had difficulty and could not get my old username to register ofr some reason. Had to add the 2 at the end. I would think most people would register with the same name they had, but then again............

Go into your profile, look for the "Name" entry on the Account Settings page. You should be able to change it to your liking, provided it's not taken already.

Note your login name will remain the same. eg: "Admin" is the first registration, but shows in the forum as "Administrator".

I'm using a different name, it's the same name I use on other forums. My real name is in my signature so I don't think there should be any confusion. I'm still the guy who likes Avon tires, and can't understand why anyone would want to lower their Concours.

There was a guy on the old forum named ZG, I was so jealous of his freshly black powder coated wheels that I took his name and avatar pic for myself to use on this new forum... I rode up behind him once on my silver connie but for some reason I could never catch up to him...  ;)   ;D   8)

You're more than welcomed to change your display name from w/in your profile, and it's somewhat advised. Your log in name will not change though.
