Changing your username is one of the perks of being at least a Contributor Level (paid) member. If you wish to do that, click on the following link for instructions:

If you choose not to pay for membership, you can still create a custom user title that reflects your business name. To do so, you'll have to go into your User CP, click on "Edit Your Details", and then scroll down til you come to the "Custom User Title" text entry field. Once you've typed in your business name, be sure to scroll down and click "Save Changes".

For any further questions regarding site features, you'll want to post in the Feedback Forum.

thanks for the help guys!


Let us know if you have any other questions. I'm moving this to the feedback forum.

edit to also say - you can add your business name in your signature, lots of people put a link in that area

Tanks guys I'm sure this will help

The one other thing I don't get is what the differences are in memberships

The following link will take you to a thread that explains what each membership level includes.

here are the levels of different memberships:

Just looked at it more closely, and it's not entirely accurate anymore, but it'll give you the general idea.

I think you have gotten the gist of the situation from the replies others have made.

Yes, I rejected your new membership, as is my policy when I see someone creating a new account that incorporates a change of member name, and causes the old account to be therefore abandoned. Sorry, but since member name changes are a perk of paid memberships, it would be rather foolish of me to allow people to circumvent this policy by simply creating a new account in that pursuit. Creating a new account to effect a member name change generally also means that the old account will just be abandoned in favor of the newly named account, which is rather wasteful of server resources. And thirdly, it's a general policy here that there will only be one account, per person, and only one person on each account, which creating a new account in this manner violates.

Generally speaking, I believe it behooves someone who is, in effect, creating a commercial account here, to consider becoming a paying member anyway, even though it is not really required. Posting classified ads here is completely free for all members, paying or otherwise, however there are some perks associated with paying membership (the Classifieds Control Panel providing bumps and highlights of your ads comes to mind). Such payments help to insure that this site will remain financially healthy, which helps YOU to retain the use of this site for as long as you wish to, by it's being financially able to be around for the long haul. Let's face it, the more successful this site is in traffic and visitors the better off it is for you advertising here, since that means more eyes of potential customers seeing your ads. The bigger the pie, the bigger the shared pieces are for everyone.
