We only ask you to create a display name if you want to do anything public on a 麻豆社 website or app (for instance, commenting on a 麻豆社 News story). Or to sign in to iPlayer on your TV.
To create yours:
1. First, make sure you鈥檙e signed in to your 麻豆社 account.
2. Then, on any 麻豆社 website, click the 鈥淵our account鈥� icon at the top of the page. It鈥檚 in the navigation bar, near your web browser鈥檚 address bar.
3. Choose 鈥淪ettings鈥� and you鈥檒l be taken to your personal details.
4. On the 鈥淧ersonal details鈥� page find 鈥淒isplay name鈥�. If you haven鈥檛 already chosen a display name it will say 鈥淣one set鈥� underneath. (But if you have, you鈥檒l see it here and you won鈥檛 need to do anything else.) Click on 鈥淎dd鈥� to the right of it.
5. On the next page 鈥淓dit display name鈥� enter your new display name. Remember to click 鈥淪ave and continue鈥� when you鈥檝e finished.
6. Then it will then ask you to confirm your email / user name and password just to check it鈥檚 really you.
Remember, if you're under 13 you鈥檒l need to get your display name approved by your parent or guardian before you can use it. You can find out how to get their permission here, or read What's the difference between a username and a display name?
