Cometdog Tip #432
Let's say you have a user name like "monkeybutt". But your mom would never let you say "butt", so you want to make it nicer. You can change it to monkeybutt-bunny with no problem! Monkeybutt-bunny is allowed through the censorship of moms if you say it fast! (they think you are saying monkeybun-bunny when you say it fast!)
All you have to do is click on the profile button on the top: You'll see your Login name (which will never change) but under that you see "Display Name". The display name is what will be displayed! You can change it to whatever you want! (just don't use an apostrophe - it mucks it up.) And you can keep changing it depending on your mood.
If you want some added text to your display avatar - use the "Location" section and type something short.
"Monkeybunnies Rock!"
Just remember, you still have to login into the site using your original name!
Comet - 1999 to 2011
She departed us unexpectedly January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.
She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.

Thanks for sharing this helpful tip! Did you know the term Display Name is also known as the nicename?
By visiting their profile page, users can also add lots of information about themselves and their pups or include a brief signature to appear beneath all their posts.
And to clarify, cometdog refers to your Forums profile here. To change a user's nicename site-wide – for comments on blogs, etc. – and to upload an avatar (changing it as often as you like), visit your Tripawds User profile page. You will find a link atop your Forums profile page.

I thought I would bump this since "someone" has asked me about changing user names. (I won't mention who - but let's just say their name rhymes with Tackie. 
)

For some reason it's not 'taking' w/ my iPad. I'll have to do it later.
(Why doesn't my name rhyme with any nice words?? Tacky, wacky, it's all bad...)
Abby: Aug 1, 2009 – Jan 10, 2012. Our beautiful rescue pup lived LARGE with osteosarcoma for 15 months – half her way-too-short life. I think our "halflistic" approach (mixing traditional meds + supplements) helped her thrive. (PM me for details. I'm happy to help.) She had lung mets for over a year. They took her from us in the end, but they cannot take her spirit! She will live forever in our hearts. She loved the beach and giving kisses and going to In-N-Out for a Flying Dutchman. Tripawds blog, and a more detailed blog here. Please also check out my novel, What the Dog Ate. Now also in paperback! Purchase it at Amazon via Tripawds and help support Tripawds!

Hmmm... what exactly isn't "taking"? Updating the Forums Profile page requires Java, but not Flash.
If anyone cares to donate an iPad to Tripawds we'll gladly test these things!

I went to the profile page and typed in my new display name, but when I hit the "update profile" button, nothing happened. Tried a couple of times, but nada...
I'm assuming it's the iPad and not "operator error." But it could be me. 🙂

Hmmm... unless someone can confirm otherwise, it may indeed be the iPad OS.
You can also try changing your display name from your Tripawds User profile in your blog Dashboard -> Users -> Your Profile. (Required to change display name on blog comments.) Then try checking the box in your Forums Profile to keep WP username in Sync under Personal options and click Update to see if that saves.
Hope this helps!
