User Names

Post by UBT - Janea »

I was wondering if the UBT prefix on the user names is for the Team "Leaders" or can anyone add it to their user name?

I'd like to change all my projects to show everyone I belong to the team but don't want to tread on any toes.

Anybody can add it - I know I did!  It's a useful way of showing your affiliation (or should that be affliction?!  :? ) and keeps the names together nicely in alphabetical lists too.

Good point, never considered this. A good way of promoting the team as well.

To change you forum name - PM one of the admins with your new name.

For projects I think you have to manually change them one by one. Not sure if the CPID changes when you do this - if so, your stats will go pear shaped for a couple of days while things get sorted.

I'm sure Halifax--lad will know more when he sees this.

I can change it to:
"Read me last",
"Read me when you've got 5 minutes",
"Read me if you want to change your user name".... :oops:
