*Lakshmi Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) I have been trying to send a PM to "admin" for a few days, but it never shows up in my SENT box. So I assume it's not going through. I'd like to ask someone to alter my sign in name. I thought I chose a clever one (as plain ol Lakshmi was taken) but turns out there's no ~ option on my smartphone, so I can't sign in from my phone. I'd like someone to alter my sign-in name so I can use my phone - but I can't seem to PM admin successfully. Any suggestions? Thanks! PS - I posted on the technical board for several days, but no one seems to read it, so I was told to try here. PPS - I also tried PMing Moderator (who posts the stickies) but that does not show up in my sent folder, either.

VaKim Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Just found this in the board rules: Choose your Username CarefullyIf we respond to username change requests, we do so at a snail's pace. Don't be surprised if it takes more than 6 months, if at all. We strongly suggest you do not include your location or the number of children you have in your username as those things tend to change.

*Lakshmi Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 Thank you for doing that searching! That's good to know. :-) Maybe I'll just forego checking on my phone, then. No problem. :-) Oh well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butterflymommy Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 PMs will not be in your sent folder unless you specify that a copy be saved when you send the PM. As far as your name, I hope you can figure something out! :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tntgoodwin Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 If you have an Android smartphone, you could use an alternate keyboard that includes the tilde character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuirkyKidAcademy Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 The iPhone has the ~ character on the second alternate keyboard. Touch "123" and then "#+=". Good luck! I'd be frustrated too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
