Hi!

I would like to change my display name. I tried like mentioned here, but I really can't find.
https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=555492.msg3937462#msg3937462

The Account Settings page allows me to change my e-mail, password, secret question, A2F, etc. But I can't find the option to change my display name.

Could you help me please?
Thanks

It should become available at 10 posts, I believe.

And it's 10 posts as a spammer prevention.

At least in SMF you *can* change it, in a lot of platforms now it's not changeable.

I know that. I find it aberrant.
I even found a Web shop where you can't even change your e-mail!

I will note that what you just did is actually counter to the forum rules as well...   serial posting like that solely to increase your post count is not cool.

Please avoid double posting for no reason. I removed a couple of the posts.

Well, it's a good thing that they changed their display name which was all they wanted, and I'm pretty sure y'all could have fixed this by now by decoupling all of the profile permissions from the post group since the only hard requirement was for not letting 0-9 change their signature.

well, sure, but - as you know, the more granularity that is added, the more people get confused with the settings. :P

You know that granularity was added in 2.1 though, right? It's literally there in the permissions page.

Lol, oops, tells you how often I lok at the permissions these days... :-*

It was there in 2014 though... I seem to remember having a vocal opinion on it back in that era.
