I don't usually click 'remember me' because I am afraid of having any of my passwords saved. I will try it, though. Thank you Warren.

I've noticed that a lot of threads now have more subjects about residences. Still not enough to make a new subforum?

Warren · #63 03-24-2009, 01:44 PM

We feel that having the threads for castles, palaces and residences in their home forums gives them better context. Many of the palaces and residences aren't so much historical as "current" and form part of the fabric of the various royal families' lives and activities.

Ok thanks
Maybe the Monaco moderators can make a royal residence subforum in the Monaco thread then?

Warren · #65 03-25-2009, 09:59 AM

It would only contain a couple of threads: the Palais Princier and the chateau in France. There's not enough content to justify a subforum.

cdm · #66 03-25-2009, 12:54 PM

There are also threads about the houses/yachts of Caroline and Stephanie and the subforum could grow as they have more properties. And in the Monaco forum there's also a thread about the history of the family with very few threads.
But anyway, no subforum then. That's too bad, certainly because a lot of the other families have one.

I didn't want to start a new thread about this but I didn't find any answer in Elspeth's thread and I was wondering about referrals. On my profile page there's a place that says "Referrals: 3". What does that mean?
Thanks!

Elspeth · #68 04-04-2009, 12:33 AM

It means that three members, when they registered, said that you were the member who referred them to the site.

Let me go and add that to the TRF Q&A thread.

ETA, New Member FAQ, just for you:

On my profile page it says I have three referrals. What does that mean?

When new members register, they can give the name of the existing member who referred them to the forum. Once they've done that, the referral will show up on the profile page of the referring member. In other words, the referral information shows how many people you've introduced to TRF as members.

I want to know what do I have to do in order to change my username, please.

**MAfan** · #70 06-21-2009, 02:18 PM

I guess you have to ask to the administrators...

jonnydep · #71 06-21-2009, 03:36 PM

hello,
if you go to the thread "username" here you will find all the details you reqiure to change one's username.
regards jonny.

Al_bina · #72 06-21-2009, 04:32 PM

Given your current title, Serene Highness, you will not be allowed to change your username.

Can I change my username?

There are a couple of situations where we allow members to change their usernames. If a username is a potential security risk (such as the member's full name), it can be changed at any time. There is also a 30-day window after joining when members can change their username if they decide they don't like the name they chose during the registration process. Members who joined more than 30 days ago may also make one change of username as long as their total post count is 50 or lower. Only one change is permitted per member. Anyone wishing to request a username change should contact an administrator by private message.

Warren · #73 06-21-2009, 04:40 PM

The Administrators will allow "exceptional circumstances" such as where a member's privacy or security is threatened.

Juanita · #74 06-21-2009, 04:45 PM

This isn't an exceptional circumstance and it doesn't put my privacy or security at risk, it's just a matter of taste. However, the change wouldn't be relevant.

You're most welcome!

...JuAnItA...
I've sent you a PM regarding options.

Elspeth · #77 06-21-2009, 05:32 PM

Must say I like the new look!

Just as a bit of a clarification, something like a change from ...JuAnItA... to Juanita or from Elspeth123 to Elspeth or even from Algernon to HRH Algernon doesn't really count as a name change, more as a minor tweak. We don't normally have a problem with that sort of change; the problem is when someone with a long posting history wants a completely different name, which just confuses everyone.

Juanita · #78 06-22-2009, 10:42 AM

Thank you, Elspeth

I had some doubts about the change because I'm a member since 2005 and I have above 1000 posts, so it couldn't be posible to change.

White Princess · #79 06-27-2009, 10:36 AM

You know what? I'd like to be White Queen now...

Elspeth · #80 06-28-2009, 08:00 PM

That's a bit too much of a change for an established member like you.

White Princess is a lovely name.
