I don't think so. I'd PM Drew with the request.

Hi Norine,

Thanks for uploading your photo.

I have made the change you requested. There is a space between your first and last name. Your password has not been changed.

Thanks,
Drew

Hi Doug,

You can use just about anything as your login name. Assuming your requested name is not already taken.

But, if you do use something other than your full name, you will need to put your full name in your signature line.

Thanks for the help Dennis. It does seem like that should work, but that file is an imported field from the old ubbthreads board. While I believe you can change that field, it will not change your login name on this board.

Sure. Is that the same thing as the display name ? (I thought those were not the same thing. Maybe they're one thing with two names.)

Makes sense. Thanks.

On the old board software (ubbthreads) they were separate. On vbulletin the login name is the same as the display name.

Ah, so. Makes sense.

So what should we call it to avoid confusion?

Thanks.

Best regards,
