Hi, could anyone tell me how I would go about changing the name that appears on my profile (and thus in kudoz answers and questions, forum posts, and consequently throughout Google...)?

For now, I see I have a choose between my first and last name, or my user name. I would like to change that to my business' name.

Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Show others your username, as used in login


Please note that if you display your full name, it may be cached by some search engines. If you decide to show your username later, it will take a certain period of time for them to update their cache.

Regards,
Enrique

Will it affect my VID? Mar 27, 2008

Hi all!
I have another question on the same topic. Will I lose the ID verification mark in my profile if I change just my username (my first and my last name will stay the same)?
Thanks in advance,
Oleksandr.

mine didn't change Mar 28, 2008

Hi Oleksandr,

Probably best to get confirmation from site staff, but I changed my user name and it didn't affect my VID.
