| Requesting a possible nickname change? |
| << < (4/4) |
| Agent of the BSoD:
There's three names. There's your username: the name you log in with that you cannot change (which should be different from your display name so hackers have a harder time getting into your account), there's your nickname, which you also cannot change, and is located under your custom text stuff in posts with the tag "Nickname:", and your display name, which is the one at the very top of your posts in big letters that you are allowed to change freely. The nickname stays the same so people still know who you are when you change display names. Your username is private and nobody else can see it. When your display name matches your nickname, your nickname disappears from posts as it's redundant, otherwise, they are both shown. |

For clarification, your USERNAME (what you log in with) should be unique and not the same as your display name or nickname. Nickname is automatically hidden if it matches your display name (since yes, Edible is right, it'd be redundant). |
