	We had a person sign up in our forum and they mis-spelled the user name they wanted to use. SOME forums (other brands) allow the member to change their "display name" or the name that appears when they post, etc. So if they get tired of the name they chose, they can choose to display another name. And some allow the name to be changed, but I have been all over this thing (8.06) as the admin/forum god, and see no way no-how to change their user name or even a way to display another. Can it be done? It's a single character - they typed an a and it should be an o.

	To try a persuade users not to change usernames as it leads to community issues only the admin can do this from the admin area. Have a look in the admin area menu, there is a tool specifically for this

	Thank you! I had looked, and looked, but I was looking in the user control panel areas. I then went to the forum admin area and I still missed it twice, but now it's so obvious! Thanks. All taken care of............. a person gets made fun of if they mis-spell Mark Donohue's name in an AMC forum!
