Change to Registration
Friday, May 9, 2008 at 20:07Effective immediately, only a handle and an e-mail address is required to register with the BL RAG. The handle you use will be the name that you log in with, and also the name that displays when you post messages, at least initially.
To change your posting name (you cannot change your login handle), use the View Profile option at the top of any page, and when the Profile page displays, type in a new handle or name in the Display Name field. Note that unlike your login handle, your Display Name allows spaces; thus a name like John Doe would be acceptable.
Existing members will now display their login handles rather than their first and last name when posting. Again, to change this, use the View Profile option.
This was done to allow users to have greater anonymity when posting. If any members need help getting their display handles set up, either post a message in this thread or use the Contact link to send a private message and I'll change it for you.
Final Note:
An e-mail address is required for three reasons: to confirm new users; to be able to respond to feedback via the Contact link; and to allow members to subscribe to threads. We won't do anything else with this information.
Thank you again for visiting the BL RAG.

Notes on receiving a registration confirmation (new members): Click on the second link in the e-mail message confirming your membership. That link will confirm you and then provide a login page. If you click on the first link, you will not be confirmed automatically, and will have to wait for a site editor to confirm you (usually within 24 hours).
