Account Migration Not Complete, Please Reset Password

You need to follow the instructions and reset the password, though you can set the current password only in the input box !
But currently the registrations are off on beta forum.

Due to some spam that the software wasn't quite prepared to handle yet, registration of new users is disabled for now.

What a bad idea to allow the name change. I can't even imagine all the scams and the hoaxes that will pop around in the minute...

No. Even if changing the display name gets allowed, display name != username. If you take a closer look at the posts in the beta, you will notice that left is the username (with a bigger font) and on the right is the display name (smaller).

Actually currently you can also change your username when you edit your profile.

I don't know where you see that option. On the main account editing panel, I have "Username : Erkallys Name : Erkallys", and I can't change any of them. Maybe that's a function reserved to the Legendary members ?

This functionality is not limited to legendary members. Currently the lowest level of users there is hero.
To change username :

- Click on your username on top right.
- You would be redirected to beta.bitcointalk.org/profiles/"username"
- Click on "Edit Profile" below your avatar.
- Now enter your new Username and Display name in the textbox of the popup that opened.
- Click Save !

Where's this top right where I should click on ? It is in my profile section ? Maybe you're talking about the top right of the beta version of the new forum, and if yes, there's a confusion, because I was talking about this ability on the current forum.

Yes, I was talking about BETA forum, the thread is about it.
It is NOT possible to change the username in current Forum.

are the "+1" in the form of "i like" coming to agree fast on another poster?

Hopefully not, will still be abused by multi accounters to sway opinion.

So when is this going to be done and not just beta? Seen the new forum thread in the forum posted almost a year ago.

That can not be known at this time. There are many bugs to be fixed and things to be sorted out.

Are you sure about that? I've tried it at least once and it just returns the error: Profile could not be updated.

Yes. You actually just did change your username: https://beta.bitcointalk.org/profiles/Lauda123

I haven't tried login yet since I don't want to change my password. but yea that's a good feature I wanna change my username as well.

You can login without changing the password, click on forgot password and then when it asks to enter new password, just enter the old one only.
BTW, the registration of new accounts on beta forum is currently stopped by thymos.

Interesting find! I've tried this yesterday I think, but upon receiving the error nothing happened and I ignored it. I've changed it a few moments ago, but did not refresh and thus I didn't notice.

*Now there is no UID for users ?

My guess is there will be an UID as well as display name link to the profile of users.
Since the display name can be changed, it is better to have the UID link to profiles as well.

It looks cool, nice and easy. But as it is unusual yet

. On the mobile device has not yet been tried, but I hope that it will normally be viewed in contrast to the "old" version.
