Hello FG, I was wondering if there was a way to change my login name. I would like to change it to something a little more "user friendly"

as it where.

TIA,

rwmtd (BJ)

Hehe im also curious.

I would like to change it to my name, Gloria or my nickname, Glow.

I can make a tool to do this. Currently, there is no way. Give me a little time.

Let me back up a step or two

I want to make sure this is something the majority of members here are okay with first before I proceed. I started thinking about the confusion this can bring, can you imagine all of the username changes that may come about? I don't know how I would keep up with everyone, especially for those that change it more than once.

Some feedback please.

Hey Fg I'm ok with it that sounds like a good idea.

**hjm331** · September 23rd, 2008, 11:52 PM

FG is right. If we allow one user to change their username, then everyone will want to do the same. We can't deny their request so we have to think about it.

**rwmtd** · September 24th, 2008, 06:34 AM

Wow, I didn't think of it that way (sorry).

I just wanted to change mine once, however, I do understand what confusion it would cause you not to mention the extra work. I am in IT (network admin) and I know when our systems people where I work get a request for a change in name in a system that may cause something to "break".

Thanks for everything that you do to keep us up and running smoothly.

Hi rwmtd,

I am still still considering it, and I never mind the extra work. I just want the input from our members before I book the flight

. This small change could be bigger than expected, and I don't want to comprimise user experience because of it. I am always open to new things here, but I really like different perspectives. To me, I am thinking this could be like renaming all of my relatives

, that would be confusing for me, forever.

Really... I'm not the Veto guy, I want popular vote!

Thanks,

Mike

Sorry I had to throw my 2 cents in but, I don't think we should do that. I mean, we have to realize that this is not an email account where people can have so many user names or accounts. A person should think twice of what they want their UN (user name) to be before signing. If majority of us vote against it, then FG I think it should be added to the FG rules that people agree to upon signing up so this can avoid confusion or disappointments in the future.

I feel so bad going against it because we have so much agreement going on in here, but I must say that I can (and have always) remembered everyone by the original UN. For instance rwmtd, when you are busy with other things in life and take a silence from FG, when I see you post, I be like, "There goes my Buddie" because I am stuck with the UN that you have. Not only that, what happens when someone new comes in and want to respond to rwmtd? I think it would be confusing if (For example) LadyR answerers the new person back? I know you are not going to want to re-identify yourself to every person that posts to you.

Please, please re-think your question, I have a good feeling that it will be better for all of us if we just keep our OG names and roll with it. I have thought about that myself, "hummmmm, I should changed my name to "DA-credit-Gurl" so I can represent where I came from. But you know what, nothing will sound better than "Meya" because that is how I came here and that is how everyone knows me. I know I will be twisted for a while if just 200 people decide to change their UN, let alone nearly 3k of us...lol

I can understand the hard work and where everyone is coming from.

The reason I choose RivasGlo was because I didnt think I would ever be coming back to this website. I choose Glow or Gloria at other sites so people can ID me better. Im cool w/ RivasGlo tho it still got my name in it...
