Title: Display & User Names
Post by: Christopher Sanderson on March 13, 2017, 01:06:53 pm: Quite a few Forum members seem not to know that their name displayed on the Forum - Display Name - is different from their User Name and that the Display Name is editable by them in their forum Profile.

It is inadvisable to use an email address as a Display name due to spambots. We suggest you at least omit the @domain part of your display name.

Oh and PLEASE do not use ALL SCREAMING CAPITAL LETTERS!

No, you can't. But you can change your display name. Go to Profile and click Account Settings.

And that is exactly what Chris said: You can change Display name but never User name.

Is this how you tried?

Post by: rripley@mac.com on August 22, 2021, 11:55:29 am: Yes. No luck. Always says I am using the wrong password, though I am using the exact same password I use to login to the forum.
