I have tried all the setting options and even the Uber store, It seem impossible to do it. is there a way to change it?
I think it is in the UberStore. In the right side of the screen is says USER INFO and below that there is DISPLAY NAME with an edit button. I think that's supposed to do the trick. You might need to log out and back in to see the change in the forums though.
No it's won't do the trick. Forums use your UberNet username as displayed nickname. Otherwise all this forum will be covered with clan tags and "cool display usernames" people choose. PS: Also keep in mind that in-game display names are not unique.
Your Forum name uses your account username and this cannot be changed. But, you can create a new account and link your Steam account to it.
Oops. I figured that where my capitalization came from since I always thought the account usernames were all lowercase. Sorry for the bad info.
Well, there is this neat feature where if you change your Display Name to the same as your username, but change the capitalization, your Forum name will use the Display Name.
I have try that and for some reason it wont change, look into it. I will have to make a new forum account and link it as you mention before, Thanks. I would like if you can bring this up to someone that can change it as it would make it easier for me and I am sure many other that would like to change their forum nickname.
Oh gosh, yes, several people would. There are reasons for and against it. We'll continue to look into it.
Thank you mkrater, I am sure there is reasons why your not able to change your username. If you can work around it though it would awesome
If a reason against it is that the displaynames are too "free" (like can contain any number of funny characters, including spaces, can change at will by the hour or are not unique) then maybe consider to change that to be a bit more restricted. A name that is unsuitable for the forums should be considered just as unsuitable for the game itself.
I guess main problem it's how forum/bugtracker work and those both not designed to chance of username. For example XenForo allow to change usernames, but to properly apply it's require rebuilt of search index and many counters. Still there is number of problems related to change of username that can't be fixed and it's easier to deny it's completely.
XenForo has to go through that much stuff to change a name? Hmmm... My main appeal is to not have displaynames to be that "free" though Especially space in the names and non unique ones are ... trouble.
The thing is I am giving an option of doing it in writing but I am unable once I do it, Like it says under the Contact settings:"To change the username and e-mail address the forum uses, please click here." once I click the link, It sends me to the Uber Store. Where I am able to change my Display name, but when I edit it it wont change it on the forums.
Is this only a feature unique to PA currently? [Edit] Oh my D and S are already caps. Is it odd I just noticed that? I bet it was Loadout haha
Can you show me where it's stating to change username and email address? Where do you see Contact Settings? Thanks!!
As you can see under UberNet, It giving me that option once I click it sends me to the UberStore where I am able to change my display name but it never updates on the forums or in game.
i would like to change my ingame nick but it forces me to use my steam name. it would be cool if this link would unlock so i dont have to change my steam name to have a PA clan tag
I just created a new 'free' account to come on the forums. Wish I had thought to try it for 'free' sooner as it appears my preferred name has been taken sometime in the past 6 months.
