Hi, could someone tell me how I can change my nickname on this forum as I do not remember choosing "bluffer" plus I do not like that name as I do not consider myself one and I have no idea how I ended up with that particular name.  Thank you

Hi, @reylyn!   To change your Community nickname, these are the steps:

 

1 -- Go into "My Account" (the general account for the shopping site, where you enter things like your shipping address, payment info, etc. -- this is not in the profile/settings for the Community)

 

2 -- Under "Personal Information" choose "My Nickname"

 

3 -- You'll see your current one and, below that, "New Nickname"

 

4 -- Enter the new name

 

5 -- Click "Continue"

 

6 -- If it accepts the change (you might get a message telling you the name has previously been used, so you'll need to try a different one), then log out.

 

7 -- Then log back into the Community and the change will take effect.

 

(A nickname change won't take effect until you log out and then back in).

 

Welcome to the forums, @reylyn!

Same story  here but I agree, "software" is a bit better than "bluffer"

Hope you can make the change.

@dooBdoo thanks for the instructions. I don't like mine either.  I used it for reviews and when I signed in here there it was! Woman Frustrated

            @SouthFlorida321,   You're welcome!   I suspect many posters' nicknames were created when they started contributing reviews and they didn't realize the same name is used in the Community.    The name change should work with no problem -- but this site has a lot of tech problems, so we never know when we'll fall prey to one of them.    Give a hollar if you decide to make a change and run into a glitch.    Someone here will be able to help. image.gif
