Is it possible to change my username?

I started a dialog with “@discobot display help change username” but I don’t understand his replies.

Hi! To find out what I can do, say @discobot display help.

What name do you want.

It seems that my current username could be misunderstood that I am a priest which is definitely not the case. I would like it to be simply “Jimmy” if that is available

What makes you say that? I’ve not seen anything troll-like by Jimmy.

Watch and see

I think you may need to ask @billybutcher

Go to your profile preferences and you should be able to edit it there.

Any idea where please, Billy? I’ve looked in my profile preferences before and couldn’t see a way to change it …

No I looked as well and the username is there but not editable. My guess is it would need administrator privileges?

I didn’t think it did, but it’s hard for me to tell because I get a “with moderator privilege” view.

DM me if you want to change.

Funnily enough, I assumed the FR stood for France, rather than Father. Just goes to show, even names depend in the beholder.

Welcome to Fr🇫🇷 all the same!

Same… But then again I’m an atheist so religion doesn’t often spring to mind for me.

Same, but for the opposite reason, since I’d expect the abbreviation to be written “Fr”.

Yes! And with Fr preceding the name :grin:

On a site that discusses life in France, I’d automatically make that connection rather than assume the priesthood.

It could stand for “former”. :slightly_smiling_face:

I think that’s ‘Fmr’ :grin:
