Has anyone tried to change their screen name lately?

Are you all having trouble with getting an error message when you are ready to enter the new name? I have tried from the personal zone on the forums and on the log in on the main news page. I see an option to change your email addy and password, but there is no longer a way to change a screen name as far as I can see.

Poopah, OB and I both left you screen shots of how to do this. It's in the Sweetwater topic; I'll post it here again.

I don't know a lot about TD's authentication process but if I wanted to change my forum name I would first try using a different email address to establish a new account. If that didn't work then I would use a static DNS server and a new email address. That way the IP address would change if that is how they track you.

What's wrong with PoopahScoopah9000? Think it's kind of....oh, nevermind. Can't allude to that; the powers that be are sensitive these days. I say we turn these lemons into lemonade. I dub thee Grand Poopah. Get it? Or we could always refer to you as PS9K. Better?

I think I was wrong about the static DNS server. What I meant was proxy server.

Probably trying to control the trolls with five plus screen names who come on this forum to fight, not discuss and discern.

Just get a gmail account (google mail). They are free, and have your son start over with a name you pick.

If you ask Sureal Justice I am sure she can tell you and is probably considered the local expert at it!

I seriously doubt they track by IP address. Actually, they don't "track' at all. Their software uses email addresses to establish a roster of registered users. The administrator of the website can choose from a list of permissions what those registered users are allowed to do.
