Title: How to change display name?
Post by: cobby on November 15, 2008, 09:28:36 am

Hi, just wondering, is it possible to change your display name? (i.e change "tripzedomain", to something else?"

Thanks

Yes it is possible. From what I know, global mods can change their own name, enwiabe can change anyones. PM him.

Also let me know if he can change the name you log in with as well because I'd like that :P, I noticed on the viki someone else who changed their username a while ago and it shows their new username there, but I still log in with cara.mel and it shows up on viki like that :[

I think you can only fix that was a raw database edit (using SQL - UPDATE). The application layer will only change a 'preferred' or 'display' name, IIRC.
