Hi Michael

You can't change your username as such without asking Trystan. You can add a name that will appear instead of your user name
If you go to your Profile and click on 'membership related settings', you'll see a space below username called Name - just add a name there and add your password, etc and click 'change profile'.


Gadget is my name but not my username Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

PS I did ask for Gadget to become my username a while ago but I think something must have happened to my request or something. It's not that important though, so I'm not botheed.

I've had a look Gadget and it doesn't give me the option of changing my 'User Name'.....never mind, it's not a problem.....it was just that it is no longer relevant to me..Thanks for the input..I might just change my name that everyone sees though to 'M72'.... Grin Grin Wink

Just a bit of extra info:

If you have surnames on SIT, you'll have to let BB know because I don't think it works properly when you change your username   name.

SIT - Surname Interest Table . 

You  should use it - add all your surnames and you can search for others  with the same names/areas.

I meant name not username - sorry - have amended my previous post.

Can I take it that the 'Username' is of no consequence then?..I thought it was part of ones Password....obviously not if you know it's 'Fling'....so what is it's actual purpose??... I thought it a bit odd a while back, when I was contacted here (using the name 'Fling') by a Gentleman wanting to repair a piccy of me!!??....Very strange..... Huh Grin

You have to use your username to log in. It also appears if someone PMs you - which confuses lots of people who PM me - who the xyz is this 'merched' person - merched pronounced with the Scottish/Welsh/German hard 'ch'  - mer ch ed  Smiley

Carsons/Burgess in Canada - Ontario - Bruce County and Muskokas.

Um... anything else  Huh  Grin  Huh
