I need to be able to make these two corrections

I figure that I would try just this last time and if I cannot make these changes to my own likings, I will try elsewhere. I seen some names here of members that are even a little more longer in letter and numbers and yet I wasn`t able to have my own name as to my choosen.
I had to settle for DME in which i wanted the name others knows me by as "Dragon Moray Eels" for either way, the words apart as you see here or together if its a must as here "DragonMorayEels"
Also the other thing i wanted to do was to have my message at the bottom of my posts for when I did try at that time of signing up as a member here, I couldn`t type anymore then a few letters for the message I wanted to show was;
"It is a wonder that many others could be as successful if only the patience was there."
And soon if I can make these changes to what I was trying to do at the time I sign up here, I know I can make a tank size change in which is to add to the tanks that I have. So as easy as possible, how can I change the name I have to what you see here and the full message for the bottom of my responses?
Or other wise i try one time to sign up under a second email and if that not work out, the staff here can remove DME as of now for I like to have my name as I had all the time elsewhere.

I just tried again to resign up and it is doing the very same thing, I pick my screen name as always and all of the name I like to have that I can type out is "Dragon Mor" That is all that the profile board allows me to type out. I said i seen names here that is much longer then my own and will not settle for DME and as well, I like my message sound at the bottom of each response I make.

you might try to message an admin, but i don't think posting in aggressive will help.
in my opinion, i would be happy on the board even if i could only have one letter. go elsewhere if you want.

DME, I personnally have not seen any bodies screen name 15 letters long. I could be wrong but I've been here for over a year.
Also I don't believe they have a signiture line like that of other boards. Probably nothing can be done about that. So you may just have to cut and paste or retype.
I think its ashame that you have taken this so personnally. I have read some of your posts and you seem like you would bring a lot to the table.
Honestly your screen name should mean nothing, its really about what you have to offer in terms of your experience.
If it means that much to you so be it,but there may not be anything anybody can do about it.

OK, you staff people removed me with no answer, so now remove the name DME and now or I will get angry for I no use for a site as this for not one person except one or so was not being funny about what I was asking, so you PUTZ not wanted to tell me why or how it can be done as you should had in the first place, so remove me now for I not care to have my name in this forum site. You mods of the staff here are unprofessional, period for I know at the start the other thread that which was directed to you only.
I told you all, if I cannot have my name as to what its been for some number of years, I wanted that you remove me from your membership, and do it NOW!!!!

Jeez man, lighten up. We're all here because this is something we love to do. What the heck difference does it make if you cant get the screen name that you want?

connor, I asked the staff for answers to why that was and they so far not had answered me, only other people are by making pest comments such as that DragonZim, I asked in that other thread that I directed to only the staff and all others are talking and no staff, so they not been helpful im sorry to say and they can damn as hell remove my damn name as DME or assist me in my request in which was simple, Just looking for why I cannot type in my whole name and as well, my personal message I wanted that shows at the end of every response.
So far all I am getting is stupid comments from many and no help or answers from the damn staff. Now I ask you people, please not say anything for all I want is some mod help and answers to why I cannot do what others are able to do. I care not in being removed from this non-helpful site for so far, it has been non-helpful.
I not need much or any help here in my tanks, I will in wild blue moons maybe ask about something but in general, I not ask of as many things as the majority of what most people do ask about.
So please people, you are making this get out of hand by your cheap attacks, let the staff only respond or they can remove me, OK?
So please no more cheap remarks like that as from DragonZim. I not a problem staying or not, it is up to the staff, they not want to help me in why, they can remove the name DME, "PERIOD"

Well, if you've tried then I guess "Dragon Moray Eels" is too long of a name for the new system. I seem to recall some longer names too but maybe they were just grandfathered from when we ran the old style bulletin board. I don't think we're going to be able to help you with your screen name but you're very welcome to participate using DME.

I like to thank you just the same Band Guy :) but I do prefer my name as at grims were all knows me as the name mentioned here for as for what your saying, makes no sense right now and I still as yet not heard from this boards staff and they can remove DME, it not concerns me whatsoever they do so.
For I know they see this as they seen the thread that I directed to them only and they removed it in which tells me they no respect and not had assisted me fully in this madder.
Also when and if they decide to remove me, they my blessings in doing so being that they aren't helpful in my request I not the respect for the staff of this site for they shown me none. But if you post something and all a sudden I couldn't respond in return, then you know.

DME, I'm not being rude just trying to point out some things. In your originial post Thomas answered your question in post 7 I believe he is a moderator on this board. He plannly said there is nothing they (meaning the staff) could do to help you. Now Bang has answered in this post (also a MOD/staff) that there is nothing that can be done. Now what Bang is referring to, is a while back this board changed format and the names that are longer "may" have been from the old format which allowed more letters/numbers. Now in the new format of this message board new parameters are in place that will not allow you to place the entire name that you wish. Also this board from what I remember does not have a signiture line that will allow you to post what you want at the bottom of each post.
As I mentioned above you may have to cut/paste the message or just type in what you want to say.
So, your question has been answered twice by 2 mods/staff. I really don't think that it is nessasry to bash/flame the mods/staff for somthing that they can not controll. The board is what it is and it is a free board. So really there's nothing to get upset about. As I previously posted, you may do what you wish.

I think i follow you but the staff never really took much time and I think I missed this mod remarks to my request for I get no auto respose email for when any member or staff member post anything so because of that, I not sen just one lousy message after all the picking so many others had done, for why then the staff not sent me an email?
You say Band Guy is a mod? He not show the title that he is a mod for either under or after his name it should list him as a mod of the forums and I viewed his profile and it says nothing of him being a mod. And I did readied his post before your response.

Mods on this board are listed as Sharks under their names - also if you look in the currently swimming section there is a list of the Mods
Bang and Thomas have both answered you and said the same there is nothing they can do. The are both awsome with advise and knowledge and should not be flamed.
Also It may just be a dialect thing, but some of the wording in your posts is a little bit difficult to determine what you are asking for. It appears as if the writing may be in haste because of how close you are to this subject and how strongly you feel but unclear wording does make resolution harder - and It may just be me

Mods are in BOLD type in the screen names and are also listed on the main message board page on the bottom right. Email notice I found are iffy at best. Both Thomas712 and BangGuy have answered your question to the best of their ability and it would seem that nothing can be done.
As I said in my previous post, I think it would be a shame for you not to help out around here b/c it would seem that you have quite a bit of experience that would be helpful. But you may do as you wish.
I feel the mods are very helpful and do a fine job for what they have to deal with on a daily basis. I'm sorry that the outcome was not what you expected but again it would seem that nothing can be done in this situation.

I seen Band Guy post, but not the other person for when I asked for a mod response only, I not seen under their names that they were a mod of this forum.
But I readied nothing else much other then people being rather trying to pick at me and as I said, I get no email to anyone posting a response to what if I asked something or otherwise.
So lets say I cant do anything about my full name, why then can I type in my full personal message that would automatically show in every post at the bottom of my response, the message I wanted to type in was;
It is a wonder that how many others could be as successful if only the patience was there.
For i was only able to type in a few letters only.

Like I have said before I think that there is NOT a signiture line on this board as there are on others. The title line under your screen name only has X amount of charaters (very few) that it will allow. This is not a signiture line like what your probably used too.
For your email notifications, go under user cp, edit options, there should be a default email setting and a drop down window. Make sure this says you want email notices for your posts.

Is it really that big of a deal, old time?

There arent too many people here from Grim, so you shouldnt worry about other people knowing you here, by your other fish forum screen name.
It's not that big of a deal...no one is going to respect you any less by having "DME" instead of "Dragon Moray Eels".
And no...there is no signature line. Deal with it!
