Help Moderators!

Hi There!
I feel like such a goof! This is my first bulletin board effort and I did not realize that my full name would be my registered name. I don't mind, it just seems so formal compared to everyone else. I went to edit my profile but I couldn't change my name. I went to re-register and my IP was logged under the current... Please advise what is the best to do! I would be happy with ElizabethH EHeinzman, Ebeth or anything

Just feel so goofy with my whole name up there.

I am not a moderator, but my full name is posted as my registered name. I think you and I are cool!

Doesn't matter to me, I don't think that I have a different name I'd rather use. "Vera's Mama"? Nah, not original enough so I use the name I have.

Go to the top of your posting and click on profile. You should be able to make the changes you want, and it will delete anything you do not want

This will edit her profile but I don't think it will change her user name. I thought only a moderator kingicon had the power and force to do this.

Hi Elizabeth,

When you register to the board, it does not ask you for your first name and your family name, the field just asks for an "username"

Users can not change their username themselves because it would be hard to recognize them if they often change their identity. You need to know the exact username you want because if I change the current one to one of the three usernames you suggested, how would you know which one is the new username? You would not even be able to log to write me back!
