Steve B Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 When the new forum was being set up, I just quickly signed in and was having a look at the new layout.. but on reflection I would have quite liked to have had my name as my forum name instead of Turner ( which comes from my woodturning days) I have had a look through the edit my profile to see if it is possible, but have had no luck...does any one know if there is a way.. Thanks for looking, Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 to-future-former-turner Changing forum name must be possible, because in Account page, there's this feature at left: Display name history Unless someone finds a button we both overlooked, I suggest you contact forum's community administrator to request name change. -ann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

losdemas Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 As far as I recall, this was mentioned upon initial registration to the new forum. Something along the lines of "choose your forum display name carefully as, once chosen, you will not be able to change it" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Coombs Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I emailed MS and asked them if I could change to my real name instead of Richc and they did it for me. Worth asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
