Changing user name?
« on: October 13, 2014, 11:11:09 am »
On the user profile options I see a box to change user name. Is that as obvious as I think it is (and how obtuse am I :p)? I would like to change my user name. Since I don't identify as Hindu or practice Hinduism, I thought it silly to keep a Hindu-influenced user name. I should have thought of that when I registered. Is there anything else to do, an announcement or anything?

Thanks... it did indeed work, as you can see. I don't think I'll be changing it again, though.  OK, so how the heck did I come up with that? Well, I always liked the name Gunnar anyway, and in looking up Norse names I saw Thorbjorn, "thunder bear". I am Thor's boy, after all, and I am a husky little bear (maybe the world's shortest Viking). Gunnar is "brave warrior".

OK, sorry to ramble on. :o

It can be helpful, if people are used to your previous username, to have a note in your signature along the lines of, 'formerly known as $username', but it's not required.

That's what I thought, but since I am new and have so few posts, most people don't know me yet (but they will bwahahahaha :dwink: ).
