Right now, the only way to change screen names is to ask Jim Robinson. In the future, changing screen names will be as easy as filling in a field.

Just to note about the future ability: all past screen names will be listed in your profile, along with the range of dates the screen name was in use. And, for X (7-30?) number of days after the name change, your "former" will be printed next to your current screen name. That will be done to discourage people from "hit and runs".

I need some help, I'm trying to find an article regarding "bump lists". This particular article listed a great number of bump lists currently being used on Free Republic. I can't remember the title, poster, or even when I last saw it. Anybody happen to have any of this handy?

Thanks for the reply, John. I hate to ask Jim for the change as I know he is busy enough. I'll stick with the nickname until the future ability takes place.

Keep up the good work!

That's cool - I've been wanting to change my screen name from my nickname (Gabz) to me full name (Gabrielle) but have not wanted to lose my "member since" date. I'll be watching for that change.

I love the brief HTML hints below the posting screen - I know those codes, but my husband has been real hesitant to post because of the need for HTML - he's been registered and has been lurking for about a year, maybe now he will start to post!!!!!!!!
