    Hi all,

    I accidently entered my real name the first time I registered on GDF. Now I want to keep my same username but change the email address associated with it. How do I do this? Also, why should I not use my real name on the forum? I've a newbie to Web forums.

    Thanks

      if you use your real name, people can google you, and sometimes that's not a terribly desirable thing to have happen. That's all.

      To change your email address:

      - go to "User CP" (top left of the thread)
      - select "edit email and password" on the left, 2nd line item
      - enter your new information and save the changes

      That's all there is to it.

        At some point in the future, a potential employer or client might decide to google your name just to see what comes up. If they click on a link that takes them to one of your posts here where you either: A) express your doubt as to whether a particular client has any brains, B) start a flame war with another member, or C) say something extraordinarily funny but extremely tasteless, (which most of us do at some point), they may view you as unprofessional and thus not hire you.

        If Virgo Nightingale was my real name, a google search might have someone thinking I'm a total pervert who's obsessed with avocadoes. I don't want potential employers knowing that about me until I've worked for them for at least a year.

              just hope that your boss doesn't google you then, JP! After that discussion about the eggbeaters and the shoehorn you'd be in hot water for sure!

                  no... why would I watch a bachelor party? I'm a girl.

                  Oh boy, I get the feeling that this thread has taken a bad turn...

                  edit: thank goodness I didn't use my real name!
                  (See? I can stay on topic! Pretty impressive, eh?)

                    I am really missing the total views for each topic. I can't see how many people have seen my work or others work. It's pretty annoying actually. I find it interesting where people click on most of the...

                    There are definitely some issues with the upgrade. I know Kool is working with the folks behind the scenes to try and get things worked out. The issue you described is something they're aware of.

                    Problems seeing multiple page threads
                    When I go to a multiple page thread, all I see is the first page. At the top, where you should be able to click the arrow and go to the next page, they are both greyed out. It only lists one page in the...

                    Funny, stumbling on this post again now while we're in the midst of trudging through this forum software upgrade. We do have Like buttons now. Though who knows if we will keep the feature.

                    There were a mess of changes on the backend to try to fix the slew of bugs we're experiencing, so it was likely something there. But thank you for offering your browser versions, as who knows what little...
