I am trying to use my normal username but when I signed up it gave me a partial of my email. How do I change it to use my normal online username: "Dreadnaught"

Sorry but this version of vBulletin does not support (or is disabled at least) changing username afterwards.

Also, I'm still complaining about when I try to change settings in "Edit Options", and then trying to apply them, all I get is only blank white screen and nothing is changed.

I have tried it with IE6, Netscape 6.2 and Opera 6.1, this happens every time...

Same think happens for me. I'd like to change options but it only gives that white screen

Works just fine for me. Man, some of those options are cool.

msmith45... please read more carefully...

I said that I tried IE6 (and that's the darn Internet Explorer 6), Netscape 6.2 and Opera 6.1 (which is by the way the best of the three)

And most likely Warlord also used IE6.

Fury, you do realize I'm doing this in IE6, right? I got it to work for me.
Maybe you should look at your ActiveX/cookie settings, fiddle with them a bit, see if it'll go anywhere. Worth a try.

I have the same problem with the edit options page... I even tried it in IE to confirm if it was an Opera problem or not. Even after reading this and resetting my IE security settings, zip.

edit: no dice with Mozilla 0.9.6 either...

Actually, Edwin, to be very precise (thanks Orange) I've got administrator priviledges.
And the options I see in my Edit Options screen are just the same as everyone else's. I wasn't always on VW staff, you know ...

No ... I have full control over everything except a single function (the admin CP) which is also the flag for italicizing names. There's also no function in there I need, so it's no big deal. But technically it still is administrator-level access.

I was reading the FAQ and I found this:

I think this answers the question. I wish you could change your username however.

I also get the white screen and have no idea how to solve it, nor what causes it.
