Prairie Posted June 13, 2015 When signing up, on it asks you to choose a username, password, etc. and read the terms of service. The terms of service say to choose one's display name carefully. because it can't be changed. A thread discussing display names makes clear that they are separate things: Correct, you chose your login name and display name when you join. I chose to have then both be the same, makes things easy. I don't ever remember being able to choose my display name, only the username. I want to be able to choose my display name but I'm not seeing how to (I just want my username with the first letter capitalized, i.e. "Prairie"). Thanks for any insight on this.

CMP Posted June 13, 2015 It's entirely possible this is just regarding the old board. I know my user and display names are different, but I joined when the board was running a much older version. They might just be grouped together now. I believe once you're a Knight (500+ posts) you can change your display name once a year, but in some cases I think mods can change them manually.

I made the same mistake originally and had my display name capitalized. I just asked a Mod to change it to a capital for me. ~Insectoid Aristocrat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheLazyChicken Posted September 6, 2015 Sorry to bring back an old topic but what is the display name that has been talked about? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sci-FiFleetAdmiral Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) I just joined EB a few weeks ago, and had the same problem happen to me as well. Could a Mod please change my name to Sci-Fi~Fleet~Admiral? I would be most grateful. Cheers. Edited October 15, 2015 by Sci-FiFleetAdmiral Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darkdragon Posted October 16, 2015 I believe once you're a Knight (500+ posts) you can change your display name once a year, but in some cases I think mods can change them manually. That isn't possible anymore since the last software upgrade, it's a manual process for staff now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
