Change Username?

I don't like my email being displayed on forum posts, I mean who would?

from Stardock Forums

I looked in account info, I can't even see a "display name" field. I see email address which is the same as you see on my posts (Ugghhhh) . Do I need to delete my account and re-create it for this to be changed? That seems drastic...

 

Anyone can guide me to how to change the display name for my forum posts? It's is not located in account info or it is not clearly named...

Ah that's great...I didn't even noticed the rest of the tabs...in my defense I have been working 70-100hr weeks since early January....

 

Anyways, It is now telling me that the current password I am using (needed to change username) is incorrect. I've checked, rechecked, triple re-checked and no the current password I am using IS the correct password--it is the same password I use for the store also...any other idea's.

 

Thanks for responding BTW--this is kinda annoying and I suspect my own fault for not paying attention when signing up:-)

Heya Thanks,

 

Just for anyone in the future-my password is 17 characters long and apparently Star docks profile page does not like that. I could not change anything it kept telling me my password was wrong..no, it wasn't wrong it was right but Star docks profile page code sucks. Yes I said it. It does, it sucks, get a better web programmer or tell him/her to shape up for god's sake. I mean a company like Star dock, should e embarrassed!

I changed my password to 12345678J  (something simple, so as not to confuse Stardocks web code--lol--giggle--he/she should be embarrassed)..and that worked fine.

 

Then I change my password back to the original 17 character password and now that works fine to get me logged in but I can't change anything on my profile page...sigh...nothing is perfect is it?

 

Thanks again!!

What do you want to change on your profile page ?

I was being sarcastically facetious - I was kidding in other words...I don't really care about my profile passwords on Stardock--so, whatever inconvenience I experienced was fleeting at best and concerning in not the least....I can't remember what I wanted to change on my profile page but THAT would not matter unless I actually COULD change something on my profile page and in order to do THAT I had to change my password to something simpler(shorter?) than what it was and THAT resolved the issue so....and now that I've devoted exactly to MUCH time to this I will bow out and ignore responses.

Cheers:-)

Hi everyone,

I also have the "password wrong" error on trying to change username.

The password is well-typed (that's why I can write this), and is only 13 chars long... should I change it?

Where are you changing your password at?
