Changing display name

How do you change your display name on the forums? I've seen a couple of people's name change and was wondering how you go about it.

Ye me too

Contact enwiabe and he'll be able to change it

Note: you'll still log in with the username that you used when you made your account

Well, you could probably change the log-in name too if he changes it directly in the database.

[cara.mel]

Yes but that requires effort

He changes the 2nd name here:
Username:       cara.mel
Name:   caramel

(once upon a time there was a box where you could do it yourself)

Yeah, abusable feature.

It's basically an alias / shadowed alias field that the admin can change. The username in the database remains constant.
