Samuel W Carmack Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I've noticed that many members have their real name displayed on their post instead of their User ID. How do you do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Francis Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Go to my profile and select the Display name and then you can put your name in. -Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel W Carmack Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 That's my problem. I go to MyProfile / Edit and I don't see a Click for Display Name. What am I missing. Where is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Voth Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I see it as the third option on the left side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Simpson Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Third option for me is "likes". I can't change my display name. I asked Helen to do it and she did... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Simpson Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 :-) (Just had to...my 900th post,,) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Brown Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I believe it is something only 'Active Members' can do, which requires a minimum number of posts. It may be 10, maybe 15 posts. Regardless, I can change your display name - what do you want it to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Simpson Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Hi Joel, I have a few more than 10 posts. I think I am an active member, but I can't change my name. Never have been able to. Maybe it's because I'm an Anglican, and we never change.... ;-) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael J. Bolesta Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Hi Joel, I have a few more than 10 posts. I think I am an active member, but I can't change my name. Never have been able to. Maybe it's because I'm an Anglican, and we never change.... ;-) I do not see a place to change it either (but I have always had my name display).

Joel Brown Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Just confirmed in the settings, Active Members should be able to change it (had a minor bug preventing you, Michael). Ken, since your group says 'Accordance', you are "special" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Voth Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I see it under "My Settings" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Simpson Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Ahhah. Ok. Thanks Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel W Carmack Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 Thanks, Helen for changing my display name. What is the best way to remove the User ID which displays in this User ID? This is a bit of a security issue for me. I don't use very many forums and didn't realize that the login ID would be displayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel W Carmack Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 (edited) Oops, never mine. The last post brought me to 10 and the setting for Display Name appears in My Profile. I'm not understanding why this feature is not available when first using the Forum. This seems to be a bit of a security issue.
