Picked my name in a hurry and ...
« on: January 13, 2012, 07:39:57 PM »
So I didn't feel like being creative when I registered and wound up with a pallid, lukewarm, flaccid handle through sheer laziness. Is it possible to change my name? I'm hoping I didn't see one of those "you can never ever change your name" messages when I registered.

If not, no big deal. Thanks!

So, its kinda flaccid, dangling, limp, weak and generally impotent..
But WJ's a stand-up guy out on the field -where it counts. :D

Too kind of you! I've got a lot to learn, though. And I'm glad you rose to the occasion with my word choice.

Looks like it works. Thanks for adding that feature!

Awesome, and thank you!

My username is less turgid and tepid now, and the world is better for it.

Woo, I changed mine too! Although it said "hadalraven" was already taken but I searched for it and no users came up. So I added a period at the end.

I can't resist being a wiseguy. And there's more to the story, too.

I'm not saying anything bad about your name. I just think it's funny when reading this one day and your name is WJ and then coming back on and seeing The Sqawkin' Chicken. Just made me chuckle a bit.

No worries, I didn't take it that way. You can't run around with a forum name like The Squawkin' Chicken and not have a sense of humor ... especially about yourself!

That's because the SMF (the forum software) differentiates between username and display name.  You are changing your display name which is what non-admins/mods can see.  Admins and Mods however can still see your original username on your profile info.

For you, WJ..
"When you think you're in danger,
When you're threatened by a stranger,
When you think your gonna get a licking
(BUCK BUCK BUCK BUCK)
When there's no one else to turn to
There is one thing you should learn to
SQUAAACK
For SUPER CHICKEN,
BUGAKKKK!"
