Hi Bash,

In 'membership related settings', type in the new name in the field called Name, then enter your password and hit 'change profile'

hi
iv done that and it wont change. it just stays with this name

Hmmm, strange - it works for me.

Then it may be because your new name is already used by someone. Is 'name' written in red after you've clicked on 'change profile'?

when iv done it and clicked change the screen refreshes and the name has changed. but as soon as i leave the page it reverts back to normal.

Hi Bash,

Here is a Thread on Changing your user name.

I suspect the problem you are experiencing is that the name you wish to use is already in use by another member. The name you chose needs to be a unique name. You will need to select another name or you may find it will work if you make a minor change to the name you wish to use, such as using a _ to separate the words or using a . or placing a number after the name for example.

Good Luck.............Kris

wot Tati said

just noticed that when i have changed it my name doesnt go red but the word "name" does. is that because someone else has the name or another reason
