I think you need to contact the staff if you want to change your name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Sass Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I tried to do this. @Lane Shirey commented on my first new post saying I needed to use my real name. I replied, asking how I go about changing it. Next thing I know, my post and account had been deleted. No warning. No guidance. It just disappeared. What a PITA. If the restriction to use your real name is so important, then it should be more prominent and required when creating an account. Or make confirming your real name part of the registration process. There are many better approaches than just telling someone about it and then deleting their account and content. 🤬 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agree. When I registered on the new site I noticed there was nothing stating that a real name must be used. However, I just checked the sign up screen and this statement has been added: IMPORTANT: Please register with your real name and email. No aliases. It appears the problem has been fixed, although a warning that you will be deleted if you don't comply would be appropriate. I did particularly like the way it was worded on the old forum, and the format with two check box choices where you were forced to either use your real name, or agree to having your account deleted (see below). Did you use your First and Last Name as Username?: * If you did not use your first and last name as Username, you will be deleted. ☐ No, I don't know how to comply, Delete me! ☐ Yes! I used my real first and last name! Edited January 13, 2022 by Noah Britt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Adams Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Shawn, I received an email from Lane requesting the name change, but I could not figure out who it was & what to change it to. As you may or may not know, we are all volunteers here & are trying to learn a totally new software, so please have patience, we aren't getting paid for this & try to work it in along with a full time job. Sorry you had an issue with our site, but bad mouthing the people who are donating their time to give you this site won't solve anything. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
