What does change nickname mean?
What exactly does change nickname do?
I wanted to change this name cos it's going to look out of date and I know it won't bother anyone else but it will bother me.
Can't change username but I thought I could change name on the site to TUF67 or something?

I've yet to find anyone on this site who actually knows what the 'nickname' feature is for. I'm wondering how much it matters - the only name visible on your 'viewing profile' is 'KT67' and any 'nickname' details are presumably confined to your private details in the User Control Panel.

Exactly what I mean. I want to change it so it's not KT67 anymore.

You will always be TUF to some of us. Not sure if that matters or not.

Yeah I don't think it matters as much as I'm making out, it's mostly just I'll be sad when he goes. People might start asking if I support Arsenal.
Nostalgia is a thing, though. My fangirling's mostly about season 16-17 anyway, which is already past.

I don't think anyone who knows what you are on about is in any doubt of your loyalties.

Is he? First I've heard...
Yeah, Joe, I'm not surprised it is quite a masculine name. It's annoying we can't change our names...

The username and nickname system on here is a bit of a mess. Members have to select both a username and a nickname when they sign up, but, as nick007 pointed out above, the 'nickname' seems redundant, although one can apparently change it. My nickname was the same as my username, but I've now changed it to 'Hour Deep', just to see what happens (presumably nothing).
Another weird thing is that it says in the 'Your Profile' section 'Your username cannot be changed', but it also says under 'Edit Account Settings':
To change your password, your email address, or your username, you must enter your current password.

I did that a year or two ago. I just logged out one day and then signed back up under a new name. The old name is still there.
The reason was that there was someone else here with the same username and writing style as someone from another site. For my own privacy, I switched from a username I used on the other site as well to one that I only use here.
I'm thinking of switching to something really off the wall for the other site.
