When you create a Community account, you are asked to create a "Sign in Name".  This is your username in the Community and is what you will need, along with your password, should you ever be asked to "Sign In".  While you can use your full name for your sign in name, most people choose a shorter name or an alias.  If you do nothing else, you are identified in the Community by your sign in name.

If you want to be identified in the Community by something other than your sign in name, you have two options:

1. The Easy Way: Change your display name.
1. Click on your sign in name in the upper right corner of the screen to access your profile.
2. Click on the "About" tab and type your desired display name in the "Name" box.
3. Click on the "Site Options" tab and set the "Enable DisplayName" to "Yes".
4. IMPORTANT: Click on the "Save Changes" button.
   
   
2. The Not-As-Easy Way: Change your sign in name.
1. Send a Private message to "The Webmaster" requesting your sign in name be changed. 
2. The next time you sign in, you need to remember to use your new name.
