Can someone explain why some of us have other names under our real names on the information to the left of each post?

I have Joe under mine, Nod has John Prescott. I have seen others but can't remember them now.

Some in joke which we are not aware of?

Maybe you have been made a moderator o_O
 
I hate my forum name "The Crew Designs" that was from AGES ago when I used to do freelance graphic design.

It should be 'John Young Photography' but that would mean starting a whole new account

If you ask nicely it MAY be possible to change it...

Send a PM to admin...

They been there for quite a long time ;)
I think I can remember why you were given the "Joe tag"
Something to do with an ex member IIRC, ;)
And of course 2 jags Nod is fairly self explanatory.
But yes it all depends on you saying something funny or stupid (usually the latter)
And one of the admin spotting it.

The admin will occasionally change a user name,
they certainly won't add "photography" to your name as its seen as advertising.
(Unless of course you apply for a trading account)

But if "John Young" is available they may consider that.
Hit the contact button and ask, you have nothing to lose.
 
John Young Photography would be too long ;)

If it's a photography business that has absolutely no insterests aimed in any way at photographers, then it's fine to use. If it offers training etc, then we won't change it to that.

But we *do* do username changes now. I've created the submission form, but need to build the menu to allow you all to submit it :p

In the meantime, click here.

Thanks I never thought it was possible... just shows if you never ask eh....

I used to be know as The Crew Designs when doing graphics but I still had a keen interest in photography then so joined the forum never imagining that one day I would be doing photography full time

I would be more than happy with John Young

I was something that was very rarely done on the "old" forum.
But its something that the admin agreed would be possible with the new forum.
If you haven't already done so, click the link that Marcel provided.
 
And another satisfied customer :thumbs:
 
To be honest I don't like all this changes of usernames, one because I don't really see the point of company based names plus I cannot help but think that it would be advantageous to avoid linking stuff like TP which ultimately is a personal space to your business of selling photos...say your put some photos up for critique, they get pulled apart for what ever reason and thanks to all your google bots etc your client searches you and finds critique...:eek: and the other main reason at least for me it causes confusion if I'm looking for posts I remember by someone and of great they've changed their username :(

Just Julie and I changed our names as we joined as both davenjulie, then we got split up to Just Dave and Just Julie, Im just Dave Stanged and Just Julie is Esstrange lol only kidding its our 37th anniversary Sunday :)
 
Its a good point Matt, but i can understand why peoples self portrait matters as they mature, I've often thought about going for FB just so people don't get the wrong impression, then I thought nah, bloody book cover readers! ... But I can understand why it needs to be done for some. its always been available upon TRUE request I think.

I always though that you would prefer a real woman over some fake self obsessed lass who is the centre of her own universe :D or is it just the pinkness in her life your after really ;)
 
I used to think you we're given a custom title for being a b*****d somewhere along the line, but like Brash say's.....he doesn't have one, so that can't be right..:thinking:

Barbie doll is 11.5 inches tall, giving a height of 5 feet 9 inches at 1/6 scale.
Barbie's vital statistics have been estimated at 36 inches (chest, D cup), 18 inches (waist) and 33 inches (hips).
Works for me :thumbs:
