How can a user change his/her name with ease?

[Marco Famà]

Dear all,
I had a look at the section in the manual but couldn't find the answer
http://xenforo.com/help/users/

One of my community users asks me how to change the displayed name, cause he had put the username and wishes to edit it.

I feel dumb but I cannot find a quick way to do that on my own as well!
What shall I reply to him?

Thanks
Marco

It can only be done in the ACP by an administrator.

Just edit the User Name field.

mmm I've seen it.
Is there a reason why a user cannot change his own name? Just curious..

Cheers
Marco

Because it would be hard for me (the admin) to keep track of them !
You don't want people changing their names very often.

There is a way for a user to change his own username...

Follow this tutorial: XenForo AJAX Tutorial | XenForo Community and Kier will guide you on how to do it

wow I think James this is pretty cool.

However, I think this should be considered by xenForo as a future implementation, maybe one that I can enable or disable, so that Digital Doctor is happy with it

What d'you say Brogan?
