Not true. I've changed quite a few display names. But only for minor changes. If you want a completely new name, you'll have to reregister.

The official policy is in the FAQ:

http://www.nightly.net/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=28&t=001848

quote:
"Can I change my user name?"

When you first register, you select a login name and a public display name. As a general rule, we do not allow changes to your display name. If you wish to use a different name, you must re-register. However, if the desired change is minor and does not significantly alter the identity, we may allow it. Some examples include: removing a punctuation mark, a change in spacing, a change of capitalization, removing or adding a small part of the name. Any requests for these changes should be made to me by e-mail or private message and I will let you know if it is approved. These changes can only be made to public display names. Login names cannot be altered under any circumstances.

Ummm....I don't know what this means....but a giant iceberg just winked at me.

Reregistering isn't that big of a deal. I've done it a number of times. [Smile]

I feel ya, Nicole. I've wanted to this before, also, an even did reregister. I eventually just had to come back to Jacen123, though. You just sort of grow attached to your name, or at least I did. You've just got to weigh the desire to change your name against the hassle you might go through changing it.

Still the place to be.

I never think about the future. It comes soon enough.
