Changing My Nick Name
Saturday, February 23, 2008 by prickly pear | Discussion: Stardock Support General
Hello,
I would like to change my "nick name". I went to the WinCustomize home page.....click onto my settings....click onto my Stardock Account and logged in......and then tried to change my nick name. I have used all the correct alpha/numeric characters. I receive this error message: Your nick name contains invalid characters. Only alphanumeric characters are allowed. (
I want to change from prickly pear to Flute Player. I don't want to add any numbers.....just change the name. What am I doing wrong? I have Windows XP Home with SP2. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Bebi Bulma
Yes, that worked. Thank you!!! I really wanted a space in between (Flute Player) not FlutePlayer. Thank you so much for taking the time to help me.

Ha-ha. Yes, I noticed that Bebi Bulma has a space in between her name. Lucky her!! 
For me....it's an "old age" thing. I like a space.

I actually have a space because I had it set that way before they went and changed it and no longer allowed the space (has something to do with the url's linking to profiles and stuff).

Hi Bebi Bulma,
Got you!!! I kind of figured it was something like that. I've been a member since 2003 and just in the past few months I have become active again in the WinCustomize/Stardock community. Sometimes I sure do miss those "good old days".
Have a good weekend.

Ok so this thread now has me wondering. What consequences does changing your name have on the site?
For instance I see that this thread is still showing as written by prickly pear not FlutePlayer but when you click on prickly pear and go to her profile it does take you to the profile saying FlutePlayer. But she doesnt have a gallery so I cant tell how it affects your uploaded content.
Does it leave your old name on all the content you have already uploaded and just link to the personal page with the new name? Or does it change your name on your previous uploads?
Not that I want to make a major change to my name just thinking about getting rid of the numbers. Only put them there out of habit from using them on other sites.

Zakai: I believe it changes your name site wide, and all your content remains the same under your new name.

Part of me wants to throw a contest to find my new handle. It has been a long time now that I have been Seabass and the reasons don't apply so much these days. Then again I suppose a handle is like a blankey you just can't part with.

If you're known with one 'handle' you should stick with it for continuity/consistency...
In your case no-one's ever heard of you so 'hey you' would work....though I think it's already taken....
Yes, Seabass... I know....I can run, but I'll only die tired...
