  • Change forum screen name

    Hi,
    I wasn't sure where to go for this, there doesn't seem to be a "support forum" or any easy way to reach the forum administrators without starting from the top at Sun.
    I don't know why my screen name is my name, but I was wondering if there's a way to change it. I have tried the Forum Settings and My Profile, and neither seemed to have an option for it.
    Thanks,
    -Mike

    No, that's not possible.

  • Not Solved: I'm no longer in Dover, can I change my screen name?

    I've updated the post so it's right below. Please read
    I'm no longer in Dover, can I change my screen name?
    and you'll see I'm still waiting and that it's still this way after being assured it would be fixed.
    It's not so much it wasn't done but that I was told it would be and it wasn't.

    I guess Doug_VZ is Admin Emeritus if you have noticed. (GONE) So the only admin right now is Heather_VZ. You might want to send her a PM, but I am sure she is burried deep right now. Perhaps she can help if she does not see this thread anyway. You can point it out.

  • Change my screen name

    I picked a really dumb screen name when I first registered with the Adobe forums, and it's showing up now when I make comments.  Is there any way to change it?  And "edit profile" doesn't seem to be the answer.
    Jim Hess

    We're sorry ShimmyJimmy, but you're stuck now with that embarassment of a screen name for all eternity. 
    Seriously though, you should be able to change your screen name through the Adobe account area.  Click on "Your account" at the very top of this screen, then click on "Edit your account information".  On that page you should see where you can change your screen name.  This is because of the linkage that exists now between the forums and your Adobe ID.
    Hope that works for you.

  • Changing .mac screen name

    I'd like to use iChat through my .mac account but don't want my name showing up with the @mac.com suffix. is there any way to change the screen name used by .mac, or do i have to go get an AIM user name and sign on with that?

    HI Bisteki,
    Welcome to the Apple Discussion Pages
    You can try at the .mac page and go to your account to see if you can change it but it will still appear as [email protected] as the iChat name.
    AIM names can be a bit more annoymous.
    Register a name
    Hope this helps.

  • I'm no longer in Dover, can I change my screen name?

    Believe me I've look everywhere but haven't found the answer to this question. I picked the name Drew_from_Dover when I lived in Dover Delaware. I've since moved and would like to change my screen name to Drewdove, my twitter name. Can I do this and if so how? Thank you.

  • Is there any way to change my screen name?

    Long story short--I was sent a link to a forum page, I alt-tabbed to the screen and in a hurry to just see the discussion, just entered in a random string of characters.
    Can someone help me change it?

    Yes.
    Log in to the the AIM Web site
    Go to your Account.
    Change the Display name to include the Capitals and any Spaces you want.
    This works if you log in as a @Mac.com or @Me.com Name

  • Support forum screen names is wrong

    My screen name is wrong.  I specified my screen name to be "Jimmy-Jay" but Midler got tacked onto the end.  That came from a question asking me to enter the letters I saw in an image to stop non-human interaction with the support forum.
    I looked all over for "my account" or something like that to go into to fix.
    How can I fix this?
    Thanks.
    Jimmy-Jay

    This should be fixed now Let us know if you have any other questions.

  • Forum /screen name problem

    Does anyone know what this is all about?
    When I tried to login the last time they told me that they were updating the database or whatever and asked me to create a screen name.
    I wanted to keep my old CPaschilke but was told that it's already taken (what a wonder).
    So I chose C.Paschilke but this account is blank.
    My post count is reset and much worse my duke dollars are gone.
    How do I get that stuff back?
    SUN really makes it unpleasant to work with their forums....

    You should check [url http://forum.java.sun.com/forum.jsp?forum=10]Discuss the Sun Developer Network Web Site - you're not the only one who's had trouble. There are some FAQs - jschell, YATArchivist and JustLee are back, but some others (Mr_Silly, KPSeal, Ragnvald among others) still can't use their original logins. For me, the reauthentication worked nicely.

  • How can i change the screen name in my icould account?

    my Apple ID used to have my Dad's name because of the billing issues.. now is changed again to have my name, but i keep seeing that my account on icloud.com still says my dad's name, so if i try to send an email through there it says my dad's name and my email address instead of my name...
    how can i change the name that appears linked to my icloud account? (note that as i already sayd my Apple ID has my name now, i jsut want to know why is not my name in my icloud account?)
    thank you,

    I believe it can be changed by going to https://appleid.apple.com/, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in with your iCloud ID, select "Name, ID and Email Addresses", then click "Edit" next to the name listed under "Your Name" and change it as desired.
    Also, if you are trying to change the sender name for your iCloud email account, you'll want to go to icloud.com, sign into your account, open Mail, click the gear shaped icon on the bottom left and choose Preferences, go to the Accounts tab and enter the name you want to use in the Full Name field and click Done.  Then quit Mail (Command-Q) on your Mac and re-open it.  Your new From name should now appear in the drop-down list when you compose a new email.
    (The image was removed in your post above because it showed your iCloud email address.)

  • Changing the screen name or computer name.

    when i installed leopard and it asked for information on the computer name i put the wrong information. how do i change the computer name. i looked in accounts under system prefences and i changed the name there but in finder under places where there is the home button it is the old one. how do i completely change all of it to the new one.
    thanks

    Open the Accounts pane of System Preferences, unlock the padlock, control-click your account, choose Advanced Options, and change it. If you change the home directory's path, you also need to move its contents in the Finder.

  • How do I change by screen name?

    I would like to change my name from Mike1011 to something else. I want to leave everything else the same. I can't figure out how to do it. Could somebody please give me some direction? Thanks.

    Hi Mike!
    Here is some additional info.
    The Alias of the account you are using, cannot be changed, but you can create a new Discussions Account, with an Alias that you prefer.
    You cannot delete your present account. Just stop using it, after you have created a new one.
    You can use all of the same info in the new account, Email address, User name, etc, just be sure to insert a new Alias of your choosing.
    But your Level(1), Points(80), Total Posts(92), Total Posts Online(92) and Registered Date(11/1/06), will not be transferred.
    In the new account, your Post Counts, Points, & Level Status will all start at 0. Your Registered Date will be the date you create the new account.
    Your old account, with your previous counts & level, will still be viewable, under the old Alias.
    After you quit using the old account, those posts, will be archived. What that means is, that if there are no additional responses in the Threads they reside in, the Topics will get continually pushed down on the Topics list. After a certain amount of time, maybe 2 to 6 months, the Threads will be locked, so no responses can be entered. But the Threads will not disappear.
    Threads in heavily trafficked Forums, may be archived more rapidly than those in areas, with less activity.
    The Topics that you started using the old account, will show your Old Alias, in the Author field of a main forum page, but eventually, readers will have to keep going to the succeeding pages to view them.
    If someone were to do a Discussions Search, using these parameters:
    Restrict by Category or Forum: All Categories
    Restrict by Date Range: All
    Restrict by Username: Your Old Alias
    all of your posts, created since about 11/13/05, would be found.
    To create a new account,
    Log out of Discussions. Delete the Apple Cookies in your browser preferences. Then follow either of these instructions.
    -How Do I Create My Account?
    If you haven't signed up for an Apple ID for the Apple Store or AppleCare Support website (or forgot your old one), you can create a new account on the My Info webpage. Just click the "create one" link on the right side of the My Info page. Choose your country location and preferred language from the appropriate pop-up menus, then click Create Account. In the resulting page, enter a unique name (such as your email address) in the Apple ID field and fill in your other relevant information accordingly (fields marked with * are required). Click Continue to complete the process.
    -To register, click Login in the sidebar on the right side of the Discussions page. In the resulting page, click the "create one" link at the bottom of the page, then click "create one" in the subsequent page and follow the instructions to create an Apple ID. For more information, see the Apple ID FAQ page.
    Those instructions, and more info, can also be viewed by clicking on ?Help & Terms of Use, in the right column of Discussions pages.

  • How does User get Identified by Screen Name and NOT by Real Name in submitting a Forum Post?

    I have noticed that when I post a question or discussion item to one of Adobe's Forum Communities, I am identified as the author of my post by my actual legal name, not by my Screen Name that I set up in my profile when I registered.  The same applies for the posts of others--they are identified by their legal names, not their screen names.  What is the purpose of the Screen Name we set up when we registered, if not to shield the identity of the individual from others reading the post, if that person does not want to have their true identity publicly disclosed in, or publicly associated with the post?  If I sign my post using my Screen Name, but then it is identified with my legal name when I post it, what good does it do to have a Screen Name?  Is there some way to have the software not use my legal name, but identify my posts by my Screen Name only, if I so choose that option?  (Of course, Administrators at Adobe can always (presumably) identify the (real name) author of the post, via the registration information associated with a Screen Name, should the need arise.)
    Sincerely,
    SpaceAdventurer

    Thanks for the reply, mytaxsite.co.uk.  And thanks for the screenshot showing me that my name is displayed to you as "spaceadventurer," which is what I had intended / wanted.
    I understand now, from reading through most of the original and replies to the post,Real name instead of Screen name displayed, where I noticed you replied several times, that the Screen Name / real legal name works this way on Adobe’s forums:
    When you are logged in - YOU (and only you) see your real legal name everywhere on the forums / web site, and associated with all of your posts
    When you are not logged in (to Adobe / forums with your Adobe username / password), you always see your name associated with your posts as your Screen Name only
    Everyone else always sees your screen name, everywhere, on all posts, regardless of whether they (everyone else) are logged in or logged out.  (Unless, of course, you set up your profile to have your Screen Name be your real legal name.  Then everyone will always see your real legal name associated with your posts.)
    When logged in, in the “Edit Communities Profile” web page (from the menu that appears when you click your Avatar in the black Adobe menu bar at the top of the screen), in the “Privacy” tab on that page, there is a “widget” called ‘Preview your profile’ in the upper right-hand corner of that tab.  This widget is supposed to show you how you or others, depending on which selection you make from the dropdown in the widget, will see your Profile (and therefore, your name) from their computers.  In fact, no matter which selection you make from the dropdown, the display of your profile that is produced ALWAYS shows your real legal name, which is misleading, because that is not in fact, what others will see. Others, whether “Registered Users,” “Friends,” or “Everyone,” will ALWAYS see your Screen Name only.  (Except for the exception I mentioned in the immediate previous bullet.)
    There is a way to change your Screen Name, should you feel the need to do so.  The steps to do that are detailed in response no. 75 to the "Real name instead of Screen name displayed" forum post.
    Does it sound to you like I have captured the gist of the main learnings that can be gleaned from that post ("Real name instead of Screen name displayed”)?
    Thanks,
