Hiya LC a.k.a LLLL  What you will need to do is: 1. Go into your "Profile" page. The "Profile" button located near top of any S.O.S. forum page next to Logout & Chat. 2. Click on "Modify Profile" which is located on the line where it says Member's Bio. 3. Go down to the line where it says "* Display Name". 4. Type LuckyLauraLovingLife in the white box. 5. Scroll down & click "Modify Profile" button located near bottom of page. LuckyLauraLovingLife will now be your display name for any forum posts. It will also appear now in Chat as: LuckyLauraLovingLife [ladeschaine] This means your forum display name shows and your registered member name shows in Chat. This is a new change that came with our upgrade in order for everyone in Chat to know exactly who everyone is. *** If ladeschaine is not your registered member name, as in if you are currently using it as your display name, then your original registered member name will appear after LuckyLauraLovingLife in Chat. Now, if you don't want LuckyLauraLovingLife appearing as your display name for every forum post - I have no idea what you can do, & I'm not sure there even is anything else you can do. If there is, someone will come along here & let you know. ps: I don't know if we are set up to put hyphens or lines between words in our member name or display name, but if you want to try it, go for it: Lucky-Laura-Loving-Life Lucky_Laura_Loving_Life I don't believe I've ever seen this appear here, so I imagine we don't have that capability. Any way you go, good luck & always great chatting with you.

Love,Laura "Who wants to nickname=Lucky Laura Loving Life" You can follow annieblue's instructions to change your display name. You can use spaces in your nickname. You don't have to use the underscore or any other keyboard symbol. The spacebar wil provide the spaces just as you would normally type. DO NOT end with a period or a space, however. Your username will still show in parentheses after your changed display name while in chat. That is a given and you cannot change that. |

- AnnieBlue has given an awesome explanation.  Remember, if you change your "displayname", that's what appears on your forum posts. BUT, you still have to log on under your original name.And yes you can add many sorts of punctuation, or numbers, or odd characters, or spaces to your name. Total number of allowed letters/characters/spaces in your "display name" is what's in my "displayname": CourageouslyLion_SeeksSerenityThat would be 30 characters. I originally tried to make my "display name" be CourageouslyLion_SeekingSerenity(32 characters) but it was too long. - |

DO NOT end with a period or a space, however. There is one member who has asterisks at both beginning and end of her "display name". So I guess you can end with other characters (other than space or period). - |

Ladeschaine, I forgot to answer the other question, and that was if we can have avatars in chat now.
No, that is not included in the package we purchased.
