Display Name

Post by Sniper Wolf 1122 »

<span style='color:green'>alright, im not exactly sure how it works on this forum, but if its like others its not that hard. i think we should have the abitily to change our display name. mine used to be edeniansoldier (apologies, i was a noob then i know), now its sniper wolf, yet i wanna change it to sevel jz. i mena when we register yes its smart to pick a name you can live with, i did, then i changed it, becaus epeople change and such. shouldnt be stuck with one gambid, if it snto too much, or too difficult could we get this right? whos with me? otherwise, i apologize.</span>

I don't think we can. I didn't see the option in the edit profile.

Well, I've seen other Invision Power Boards and none of them have this option, so I'm assuming it's the site that's not letting us do it. But it would really be good for you since you seem to change your name on a daily basis. :D

Having changed names on other forums I run, I realized that only admins can do this. I don't believe there's an option for us to do this or an option that can be created.

Think of the mess this place will become if everyone can change their names.
You will never know who actually this user is.
It will result in total confussion and disorder because we will not be able to track the members who break the rules.

Yes you can use the ID to track down but it will be a lot harder if we have to right down the ID of every member that got our attention in any way.

Oh ok,i guess that's right.we got 1303 members,and it's very difficult.

An easy way is just find out the spammer in the topic,and then click his email id,ban him or warn him.it's very easy to remember the e-mail ID rather than the user ID.i never check up on my users' forum IDs the most.always,the e-mail.

hope i helped. ;)

Look why do you bother posting all this, I will not allow members to change their names, and that's final.
