    Hi Susie! What part is not working? Are you not getting to the ‘Your Profile and Personal Information’ page? Or is your nickname not showing the way you want it to?

    Hi Rubia….Everytime i type in the nickname I want used,it closes out the page I’m on & goes back to where I started. It won’t accept the nickname

    –Rubia–I went back & looked again & it says (no editing) after Username. Maybe if I Re-Registered it under the way I want it to be? Don’t know if it will accept it tho. I might have to ask KM

    That is very strange! I’m afraid I’m not very techy when it comes to stuff like this (even though I am a software developer!). It might have something to do with some setting for your browser, but I don’t have a clue as to what that might be. You also might try clearing out your browser cache. Everytime you go in the internet, stuff gets stored on your machine about where you’ve been and stuff (I know, I know, very high tech explanation here!) After a while, sometimes all this stuff ends up getting your browser confused, and it will behave strangely. So every now and then it helps to go in and clear that stuff out.

    If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer, click on ‘Tools’ in the top left hand corner of the page, then click on ‘Internet Options’ in the little menu that drops down. It will display a little popup page and right in the middle, you will see a box called ‘Temporary Internet Files’ Within that box is a button that says ‘Delete Files…’. Click on that button, and then click on ‘OK’. Once your browser is done deleting, you might just want to try exiting from Internet Explorer and then going back in.

    If that doesn’t help, hopefully some other TDK’er who is not as technically challenged as I am can help!

    The trick is to log off and then log in again. when you log in you get the new screen. I think it worked for me… I’ll see for sure when I “send post”

    YEA! It worked !!!

    One Popoki,

    I didn’t log off, and it worked for me.

    Hi Susie – Are you sure you are on the right page? Also, it is your nickname that you can change – not your username. If you are not seeing a page with a place to enter a nickname, then you are not on the right page.

    It seems that the only way to get to this particular page is when you first log in, and you have to log in by clicking on the ‘Login’ link at the bottom of the comments – NOT by clicking on the ‘Login to Reply’ links within the comments.

    If you are currently logged in while reading this, log out, close down your browser, bring it back up and go to the main TDK site. Then follow the instructions above.

    Good luck!

    PS – Don’t feel bad about having trouble with this! It took me 3 days to figure out the correct sequence of events to get to that page! 😉

    SLIGHT CORRECTION! After you have entered (or modified) your nickname, you will need to click on ‘Update Profile’ in order for your new nickname to appear in the list of names for display. Once you have saved your new nickname, you can then select that nickname as the name to display, and then click ‘Update Profile’ again.
