Mini Man Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Platinum Members can now change their own screen name! By using your control panel, you can change your screen name once every 30 days. Please make an announcement in this forum after any changes so everyone can keep track of who's who! Thanks!

CJEP Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Please make an announcement in this forum after any changes so everyone can keep track of who's who! It might be more fun to not announce and make everyone guess. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wenlaine Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Can I ask why anyone would want to do that? I just thought about the Blogs and the Galleries, would those change as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justmesue Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 I agree with Wendy. Why continually change your identity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whippet-gal Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Yes, I'm with Wendy, too. I think this will complicate things. We need to know who's who so we can look up blogs & galleries etc. Plus, it's plain nice to know who you're 'speaking' to! Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini Man Posted May 25, 2007 Author Share Posted May 25, 2007 When someone changes their screen name, it happens seamlessly through out our community. The new name will appear in the blog list, gallery, comments, friends list and saved PMs. I wouldn't expect anyone to change their name monthly, but it is the only way I could configure it. This is something we've done manually in the past and I figured their might be more people interested in doing so, but didn't want to bother approaching one of the moderators. Sometimes people make a hasty decision during registration or just use a name they can remember when logging in... I just wanted to present an option. Thanks, DEAN=the_man-2007 My old screen name (joking) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, DEAN=the_man-2007 My old screen name (joking) Ah, I see the reasoning behind it now, 'Brad'. And we'll still be able to nosey through blogs & galleries etc. Fair enough Gal-whippet. :yes: Going undercover, turning up collar of raincoat. Now what can I make a new passport out of?

Roxxie Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Its nice to have control for the very reason sometimes you make up a quick screen name and later decide its ok for people know your name I know I spelled mine funny because usually my own name is taken by some other Roxy. Thanks Dean! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it's nice that somebody was checking the date at the top! Silly me, I thought this was a new message! :popcorn: I hope most folks don't change their screen names; it has taken me quite awhile to get to "know" people!

Selkie Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Back when I first joined, I had a problem that needed correction. I contacted Minis on the Edge, and she assisted me with that. It was done in a jiffy. I was a newbie so didn't have platinum status. Hm-m-m-m ... Still don't - need to lurk less and post more I guess. So, if you really want or need it changed, I'd suggest contacting her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
