Only problem with my name changing is that it seems to come in the middle of the night. I wake up and boom! name's been changed.

Now, I did try for "Bill Hunt," and even the older "BILL HUNT," but hit the same wall as you have. I did not think to try Jochem's method though. Should have thought of that myself. One observation: Adobe forum told me that "Bill Hunt" was NOT available, but that is what it gave me recently? That might well indicate that Jochem is onto something, with his rec.

Good luck,

Hunt

Good to know Curt Y, and thanks for validating Jochem's suggestion. That WILL help someone else in time.

Good luck,

Hunt

I would suggest choosing something tolerable in between, just to be more safe than sorry.

Good point! Who would want to be known as "bugger_head," or similar, even for an hour, or two.

I also agree that Joechem's suggestion will help a lot of people, so long as they read Curt Y's thread.

Hunt

Curt,

I had wondered if you were Curt Namechange Wrigley. I went to college with such a chap, but never got around to asking you. Gotta' be the same one. Remember that night that we snuck into the KΩ house?

Hunt

There isn't a way to change your name within the forums themselves because the forums pick up your name from your Adobe ID when you sign in. You need to go out and change the screen name on your Adobe ID and then it will show that new name the next time you sign into the forums.

Click on Your Account at the very top of the page. Sign in with your Adobe ID if asked. Then click on Edit Your Account Information. Make sure you are on the "Personal info" tab and your screen name should appear under the First Name and Last Name fields on that page.
