How do I hide / show my real name in my profile?

You can chose to show or hide your real name in your profile at any time.

If the name visible in your profile is your username and you want to show your real name instead, just go to the "ProZ.com account" section of your Profile updater and enter your real name in the 'Identity' field. Once you have entered your real name, select the "Show first and last name, as entered in profile" option in the 'Define your site name' section (within the same 'Identity' box), make sure that the "Show to everyone" visibility option is selected and click on "Save and update profile" at the bottom of the page to save the changes.

If what is showing is your real name and you want to show your username instead, just select the "Show username, as used in login" option in the 'Define your site name' section of the 'Identity' box and then click on "Save and update profile" at the bottom of the page.

Note that name changes may take up to 1 hour to become effective.
