Maybe this wrong place to post. Couldn't find in help, & maybe I Emailed the wrong person. How do you change your screen name?

Depends on your reason to change the Freeper name.

If you want to keep access to your posting history, too bad. It stays with your old name.

If not, just create a new name and start with a clean slate.

Unless the basic Freeper software has changed again. My original Freeper name created in 1998, which is my first choice, can no longer be used, if it is tied to the same email address as the new name.

If you find that out, could you give me a heads-up? Thanks in advance.

Simple.
Lots of Freepers are bad spellers, but a truly horrible speller who shall remain nameless posted a "technical" article and misspelled "beeper" (as in telephone "pager") as "beeber..."

The rest is history.

I wrote every post on this thread. It’s all in the wrist.

Truly. We could use some new chew toys.

I found Danny’s dogged persistence and innocent arrogance somewhat refreshing

I screem? Yummy!

Thank you so much. Never knew about the handy dandy FR Lexicon.

Is it updated like the HTML Sandbox yearly?

[thackney]

I don’t think there is a yearly update, but it has been updated and reposted a couple times. I found earlier versions.

If you donate $100 or more to the next Freepathon, I bet you can ask Jim Robinson to change your user name.

Great idea. I'll bet several would take him up on that.

The only problem is there is no telling what he will change it to.

You do realize of course, that it was an al baby thread that served as ground zero for the beeber phenomenon, right?

[thackney]

I do now; it is linked at the Lexicon thread.

[UCANSEE2]

Here it is.

Are you sorry you asked, yet?

[ErnBatavia]

from time to time what is a beeber?

It's a thingie the GI doc uses when he gives you your first colonscopy...
