Like the subject asks, how does one go about changing their publicly displayed name? I thought we could change that, just not our login name...
Any help would be much appreciated, even if it's just a "You can't do that...".
Thanks. ^-^;

[Edit] Although it doesn't really deserve a "Great!", for I would have liked to change my name without starting all over again, I am still really glad that somebody took the time to help me with my computer helplessness. Thanks!

You said that help would be much appreciated. I don't see much appreciation there. For shame.

Did you not see my "Great"?
Sorry, I thought that was one of those words that could be used to express enthusiasm. Silly me.

Pfft. Gimme a friggin break here. "Great!" is enthusiasm. "Great.." is disappointment.

I wouldn't promise to be greatly appreciative.

Um, but I LIKE your publicly displayed name. Why would you want to change it?

Primal, because I'm the kind of person that is [usually] greatly appreciative, I feel as though I should slip that in.
Quid, because it makes me feel like some kind of.. like a Card fan girl. I'm not denying that I am one, but.. I don't know.. Well, that and I can't pronounce it.

When I try to say it, it usually comes out like "Iowa." That or "ah-ee-oo-ah"...

So what if you can't pronounce it? You get to decide how it ought to be pronounced, and every one else has to fall in line. [Big Grin] And we don't care if it makes you sound like some kind of a Card fan girl - after all, this is a Card site, so if not here, then where?

But none of that matters. It's still a cool name. I vote you stick with it. [Big Grin]

Well, seeing as I can't exactly go about changing it...
Thanks, Quid. ^-^

I say "EI-wah", with that first part sounding kind of like a long "A". Go figure.

It's an "i". Just big for emphasis on the first syllable. [Wink]

Take it from me, if you don't like your name, drop and pick another one right now while you're only at 63 odd posts.

Personally, I like your name, but it's your opinion that matters.

You only have 60some posts. If you don't like that name, register again for a new name&password&member#.
There are people here who have or have had several.

Or who pick up extras on the way for an in-thread joke. Like Rani Sambol Oelik when we were discussing condiments. [Big Grin]

Make up a screen name just for a joke?

And then never use it again?

Who would do that?
