Yeah, I'm ticked at the fact you can't change that. My brother Jay was the one who created my Tap forum account, which is why my username is jayorten, and I've asked the mods over and over again to change it. They STILL have not done anything.
In my case, I'm transgender and having "mary" be the first impression of me is one of the biggest reasons that I rarely touch the forums. It makes me feel just as hurt inside as using my voice does. Normal tapastic has a name change function. It is simply ridiculous that tapas forums don't.
Hmm, I wonder if the staff are even aware of the problem. Maybe if we make a thread or something to address the problem, they might take notice.
Well I recognized your icon John, My best friend is Trans and I was proud and happy when you came out to us, I actually started reading bloodroot when it first came out and was on smackjeeves first few pages . Also I hope things get better with your family things can be hard sometimes god I know it I have suffered some of the same things as you have (from your long post) and have bipolar family as well things do get better and if they don't you have a strong support base here if you need us <3
