Make your changes and then scroll to bottom of the page and click "change profile".

Tried that, will not prompt the display name to be changed. I clicked on it, it highlighted but cannot change.
Thanks anyway Abe.
I might have to re-register and cancel the old account.

You are going to have to open a new account, brother. You can delete this one in your profiles file and start fresh.

OK, I just used tested things out and I can modify your user names from my end. If anybody is not happy with the name they have selected, just email me the new user name and I will change it for you.

I would suggest that those using just first names might reconsider to include your last as it makes it easier for old comrades to identify people when they are looking to reestablish old friendships.

It gets better!

I just found the switch that allows you to edit your own names through your profile.

The custom text option has also been increased by a couple of hundred strokes in order that you might have more room to provide details of your regimental service.
