Can I change my name?

#1818

Postby WandleHens » November 7th, 2016, 5:42 pm

OK I know it's not been that long since I registered, & I'm not definite that I want to change. It's just that I automatically used the last name that I was known as on TMF.

Sadly one of my Wandle Hens died of a sudden heart attack, so I only have one Wandle Hen living with me now. Impending building work means that I won't be adding to the flock for at least 12 months, & even then I might take a break to do a bit of travelling........

I digress, back to the original question (I've looked of FAQs & didn't see the answer), Can I change my name?

WHens (might change to WHen :lol: )

Yes you can. at least one user has - originally named Lemon Fool but no connection to the Fool (except as a user ) changed it to avoid the implication that he was somehow "official"

I think its as simple as editing your profile - click on your name top right

I don't think LemonFool edited his name via his profile (as there doesn't appear to be an option for that). I think he may have re-registered with a new name.

Yes I re-registered as Stonge and trust Stooz will/has deleted my LemonFool account.

I suspect there will be quite a few 'orphan' accounts at the end of this two week initial TMF migration and I suspect a tidy up will eventually be done.

But there is no "Lemon Fool" in the list of members. So either he also deleted that (and I don't see an option for that either) or he changed it some other way or the SysAdmin removed it.

I can rename accounts. I thought you had the option too as well.
Please pm me the details and I will sort it out

It looks like the issue can be resolved by stooz etc but the LemonFool (no space) I saw in the list of Members is here:

memberlist.php?first_char=l#memberlist

Out of interest, where did you check?

PD, I saw "LemonFool" but not "Lemon Fool". If he had just set up a second account then both should be seen, no?

I went to QuickLinks, then clicked on "Members", then re-sorted them by name.
