Technical Support Forum

Your legal name field does not show anywhere except in your account settings page, which is a private page. I cannot check that, but if you go back to the page,
https://www.writing.com/main/my_account.php?action=ea_form&type=personal
and it shows you the correct updated information, then the update was stored successfully.

Your username shows as chakala, the same as before.
Your handle shows as Lady Christine, the same as before.

Updating your legal name does not cost any GPs and does not change anything else about your account. It just updates the information the site uses to verify that you own your account, when compared to a faxed copy of your identification, should that be necessary.

Do you want to ALSO change your username?

The site does NOT require you to do that, but you can if you want to.

Changing your username is a completely separate process that happens on this page and does cost GPs and you also lose all your current stored email -- please read all the warnings carefully before deciding whether to go ahead with it --

Hope that helps.
