Trying to change name
« on: Sunday 26 September 04 16:16 BST (UK) »
I have tried to change the name that is seen by other users, but not user name. (If this makes sense?)

However, I have been unable to do it. What am I doing wrong?

I just want to change it to Amy.

You change your displayed name in the bit that says:

Name:
This is the displayed name that people will see.


You will not let you change your name to an username that already exists on Rootschat. There is one called "amy" already, but not "Amy" - so can't see why you can't change it really.

Amy,

Looks like you managed it !!

Remember,you still have to log on with your original RootsChat username, only your "displayed" name is changed.
