rswisher1980 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 When I picked a username, I was not aware it would show in game or I would have chosen different. Is there a way to change it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 KarenMichelle Lane Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Hello RSWisher, Unfortunately usernames are forever however you can select a Display Name for all to see. I like your current Display Name Details can be found at the link below but I included the relevant information below as well for others that may run across this question thread: https://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Usernames-and-display-names/ta-p/700173 . Display names Your display name is: A name you choose shown to other avatars in the Second Life virtual world. A string of charactersup to 31 characters long that contains at least one alphanumeric character. It can include most Unicode script characters, spaces, and some punctuation. Distinct from the username you use to log in. Not necessarily unique; other avatars may have the same display name as you. You can choose whether or not to show other Residents' display names and usernames inworld. If you choose to view display names or usernames, they appear in the name tags above every avatar and in chat. Allowed characters In addition to letters and numbers, you can use the following characters in your display name: ' (apostrophe) - (hyphen-minus) . (full stop) : (colon) · (middle dot) ֊ ֊ (Armenian hyphen) (Hebrew geresh) ״ (Hebrew gershayim) ་ (Tibetan tsheg) - (hyphen) ’ (right single quotation mark) ‧ (hyphenation point) = (katakana-hiragana double hyphen) · (katakana middle dot) Setting or changing your display name You can change your display name once every seven days, but you can Reset it at any time, which makes it appear as your "classic" Second Life first name and last name, or your username. To set or change your display name: Log into Second Life. In the Second Life Viewer, click Me > Profile... or in the toolbar. Click Edit Profile. Click Display Name. Type the desired display name in the field under New Display Name. Type the name again to confirm. Click Save. To reset your display name to its default (the same as your username) in the Edit Profile page, click Reset. Alternatively, you can set or reset your display name on your profile web page: https://my.secondlife.com/your.user.name Where your.user.name is your username. Note: Changes to your display name may take up to 24 hours to propagate throughout all of Second Life's systems. Showing or hiding others' display names To show or hide display names inworld, both in chat and over all avatars: Log into Second Life. Choose Me > Preferences from the top menu. Click the General tab. Select the View Display Names checkbox. If the box is checked, display names are shown. If the box is unchecked, display names are hidden. Click OK. This video shows you various name tag options, including toggling display names: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
