Gonna be totally honest, I didn't even know about this. mellow.gif

When you register, you have two options. You can choose a login name and also the name that everyone else sees.

Eh. Just seems a bit confusing to me. However, it does explain why sometimes people in the layouts section have different usernames than what shows up in their profiles.

Hey Dani, I asked Arjuna and he said you need permission from an admin to change it. It's so you can keep all your posts and stuff but you can change your name so you no longer have to unregister your old one.

Wow, I was so confused, haha! So anyway, do you people think it's a good idea? Now that I understand how it works, I like it. I just wish it would've came sooner so I could've kept all my old posts from my old username. XD.gif
