As the more observant of you will have noticed, I have decided to change my username from Bellerophon to tinpants. This is due to a number of reasons which I won't go into here but suffice to say the new name is one I'm happier with. :takeabow:

That is all. Normal service (or at least, as normal as it gets on this forum) may now be resumed... :D

Reminds me of a guy I once worked with. His real name was Keith Pratt. Strangely he used to get ribbed about this name (Keith?).

To stop this he changed his name to Keith Francis.

From then on he was known as that pratt Francis.

A rose by any other name.............

I am intrigued why you changed it but still kept it showing in your avatar.
And you kept your posts :)

Um, not quite sure what you mean by having it showing in my avatar and keeping my posts? I only changed the username (well, actually Fizz changed it for me) not the account. The writitng under the username can be changed by you at any time. I just chose to use that space to clarify that I'm not a newby.

As for the reason behind changing it is purely personal and has nothing at all to do with anyone on here. I just fancied a change is all.

Tis called a 'rank' MBK. You can assign them in the admin toolbox. But once you give one of the kids some sweets they all want one, 'snot fair, he's got a rank and I haven't WAAAAAHHHHHHHHH:rolleyes:

erm, go into "user CP" at the top of the page then click on "edit details" on the right hand side. At the top of the second box is a heading "custom user title". Type what you want in here then scroll to the bottom of the page and click on "Save Changes"

hth :takeabow:

We don't have it...only you have it cos Fizz has allowed you access to it...we have to do something to be cool enough!!

Tidy. So being on here for 8 years does have its advantages then!

Milky Bar Kid

People are always moaning to Fizz about it. Doesn't bother me, I think it's quite cool to have to do something to "earn" it as it were.

Welcome to the forum tinpants. I'm sure you'll have a lovely time.

P.S. At least use a capital at the start. Looks like you've copy and pasted a random word from a news article. ;)

Funnily enough there was an apprentice at my first job whose surname was pratt, he was an' all.

One of the heads of department at my old upper school was Hugh Pratt, same applied to him too.
