I am probably a little late to the party here but how have people got different names for logging in but only the one profile?

I don't mean to pick on people here but some like racing ralph now has ROLF Harris and then there is sheldona his name is now displaying as Ayatollahofniche but if you look at the url of his profile page it still says sheldona.

Im bloody confused. How does this happen?

If you go to edit profile there is a drop down list on "Display name as"…

Just to add to Realman's instructions

You need to enter your real name to have multiple options – although it [obviously] doesn't have to be real

see the 'real name' section in your profile, then the drop down box below that says 'display name as'

Oi 🙂

Brill thanks.

I was just really confused by it all.

I see now 8)

Sorry sheldon I saw yours and it reminded me I had to find out.

gary_m you cheeky git.

It's easy when you know how, you can be anyone you want to be.

It can get confusing though 😉

It appears to be purely a means to causing confusion and negative use of the forum. It can be entertaining at times too, but as a side effect.

What's the point of having multiple names (unless you want to be disruptive)?

Exactly.

I agree with stumpyjon

I changed mine as just in case anyone from the office decides to look in and see.

I just wanted to know how to do it. Being disruptive can be a little amusing at times as long as you know when to call it a day. I think its a bit funny that gary is using the same name as me and I'm sure he will go back to his own when he thinks it is appropriate (that wasn't a hint). Interestingly he has also linked my sponsorship page so now I'm getting a load more coverage. 🙂

I like my new persona 🙂

Oh, I see!

Does it change all your posts when you change it?

And cause i told you how to do it. 😉

it's too confusing for words. and mike, yes it does.

I have changed my displayed name as it probably wasn't wise to have my real name as a username. I did not fancy starting a new account, and having no history (and hence it being harder to use the classifieds)

Your real name is still visible in the URL of your profile.
