I forgot to capitalize my name somehow when first creating the account, and can’t seem to find a way to modify it at Password Settings.
@rokejulianlockhart you would need to create a Progress Ticket, see our FAQ’s…
@malcolmlewis, all that I see that is relevant is:
Can I change my user ID or email address?
The openSUSE Forums don’t use Discourse’s built in authentication mechanism, but use SUSE Community Accounts. For security reasons SUSE Community Accounts don’t pass user’s password to Discourse. It does pass username which is used to verify your identity when you login to the forums, as well as name and email which are stored in your Discourse profile. This is updated every time you log into Discourse account. If, for some reason, you want to change your name or email address, visit SUSE Community Accounts self-service page, log out and back in to Discourse.
Changing your forum ID
If you find yourself with an ID that you don’t want, the easiest thing for you to do is to create a new profile and login under that new ID. If you would like, you can let us know what the new ID is, and we can either merge the two IDs OR change the ID on the old account if you haven’t logged in with the new account yet.
…which doesn’t appear to mention anything about the name field.
OK, I guess we need to clarify that your user ID is what is used…
Irrespective of anything we have here, the login system is not under openSUSE control and always will require a ticket to be raised for action by other folks…
“Used”, @malcolmlewis? I’m not sure what we’re talking about. It seems fairly clear that FAQ - openSUSE Forums refers to the username and e-mail address fields, not the name field.
@rokejulianlockhart << User ID what is in your profile used when creating account. The forum staff have no control over what is displayed here, all part of the Login System, if you can’t change it there, create a progress ticket.
@malcolmlewis, yeah, I shall. Just wanted to ensure that I hadn’t missed the option to do so. Thanks.
