How does one change their "name"?

Not really, just make a new account.

moto, love your photo. I am the owner of multiple Shelties and they are great pets and companions.  Much more loving than the wife.

One has to be careful when selecting a name.

Very true.  Wolverinespoon does not have the same ring.

...and creating an account name of Noob or such doesn't instill confidence one will progress or plan on staying on the forum.

 I was under the impression that you can only change your name after you piss off a bunch of people?  Also, once you do, it's imperative that you reply to every single comment so your post # goes up and you can establish your street cred...

Are you paying attention to this game?

Piss the Buffalo off bad enough and you will have no option other than changing your name

You likely know, but just a caution against the practice of reusing passwords. A lot of us do it for convenience, but it's risky. In the event of a breach, having obtained your credentials, a lot of unauthorized third parties will simply try your email address and password across other properties, sometimes with great success. In these circumstances, as the subject individual whose info was compromised, it is often very hard, if not impossible, to trace back where the initial breach occurred.

This is why an organization's encryption of passwords is so important. This way, if your info is compromised, it's still unlikely the third party will decrypt your password, to be used elsewhere.

Just a message board, not financial in nature. Your point is well taken though. 

What's in a name anyways. A smoker by any other name would smell as sweet.

This is exactly what I'm getting at. A lot of breaches of innocuous sites like message boards can then lead to much more significant consequences when those compromised credentials are then tried against other properties (which can then have financial implications).

Sorry I'm geeking out. Breaches are a bit of a passion of mine.

You fill a ridiculously cool Growler with a habenero laced beer and share it with brethren.  And then ask someone who knows the answer.  Enjoyed meeting you along with @possumtrot this weekend!  Nice times brother.

Now finally "The_Stache"!!! Woohoo... you guys rock!

A most appropriate "handle" brother Rick!  Welcome aboard...again
