Changing your displayed name on the forum
« on: November 24, 2019, 09:15:56 AM »
One of the things that have been fixed on this forum from the beginning (2007) is that the users are not allowed to edit their displayed username (not their actual username - just what shows on the posts)

This always caused mayhem on the US site as some people would change their name every other day - some to political slogans etc.

Sorry that it has taken 12 years to trust you lot...

I ran the forum for my local IAM advanced motorcyclist group for many years (www.tvam.org) and still run the website. There I decided that members could only use their real names. I'm sure it contributed to a much more polite discourse.

So:

Go to "Profile" on the menu
Select "Account Settings"
Edit your displayed name

Please don't let me down here :)

PS: Having met quite a few of you, it would be nice to see a few real names - it's hard enough to remember sometimes!
