Changing your RootsChat name
« on: Thursday 08 December 05 19:15 GMT (UK) »
Fed up with being "Jo Schmo" and want to change your name to "Daffodil" (or something) ??

No problems, you just go to your profile information and change it there ....

                            BUT

If you have already entered your names in the Surname Interests Table (SIT) as "Jo Schmo",

      then please send me a PM and tell me your new name.

When you join RootsChat you receive a user-ID (hover the mouse-cursor over your name and you will see a line in the bottom of your browser with your ID-number).

The SIT "knows" you as a combination of your RootsChat profile-name and your User-ID.

If you change your profile name, then the next time you try to edit your names you will get error messages, saying that this ID is alread in use (by someone called "Jo Schmo"),  or similar, so "Daffodil" can't access the SIT  Sad

i.e.: Either the chatter-name or chatter_id is wrong

It's easy enough to change your SIT-name to "Daffodil" too,
as long as you send me a PM to tell me !!
This is not done automatically, through your profile change  Sad

Hi Creepy,

you only need to let me know if you have been entering names in the Surname Interest Table
(see link link at bottom of the page [Your Surname Interests] )

I don't see you there . . .   yet !!
but if you start entering your names now,
they will automatically use your new RootsChat name: creepy
