    What does a "display name" actually represent.

    I changed mine to my preferred name " nathan" (someone had already taken "nathan"), but I don't see where the change has taken effect. What is a display name?

    I thought its the name that is displayed on the board.

    It is nate for you right now.

    no I don't think you submitted your change. in fact you just said someone took nathan, then it must mean your own change was rejected.

    Yeah it works.

    Just thought of something, how confusing would it be for people constantly changing their display name?

    when you check someone's profile, you can view their name history.

    And how do you check how many posts you have? so you can check if you have 20 to change your display name

  15. Zombo

    your title will change from "newcomer" to "member" once you have enough.

    What would happen if somebody changed their display name to a previous display name of another person. Say I changed my name to UnEmploymentDude?

    I wasn't planning to do that, but I'm just curious.

    I'm planning to change my name the minute I get 500 posts.

    Maybe they'd ban you for fraud.

  19. Zombo

    that would be very misleading for trading reasons, but at least you can always check one's "name history" by going into their profile.

    where is the "name history"? i can't find it in the member's profile

    Thanks. This made me understand.

    Can someone post when your "Newmember" status goes up to Member and what are all the other Status'?

    Also how do you change the thing, for example Zombo's is "Moderator of DOOM!" ..

  23. minche
    Date: Sun, May 18 2008 19:00:57

    20 posts for member status
    100 for old-timer
    200 (i think) for ps-addict
    and 501 for custom member title

    It's 300 for ps addict.

    Oh right thanks. I assume you get the custom title taken away for impersonating moderators or admins? Or not cause there is a Group right below.

    There is a duplicate thread in Board Comments. I'm not trying to Moderate, but would this be the right SubForum for this thread? (I'm new)
