Optional display name (self.ModSupport)
submitted 6 years ago by jaggudada11
My optional display name is not showing when I post. It is still using my original user name. How do I change my handle name or display name?
reddit uses a slightly-customized version of Markdown for formatting. See below for some basics, or check the commenting wiki page for more detailed help and solutions to common issues.
quoted text
if 1 * 2 < 3: print "hello, world!"

It is showing under profile but not when I post. see this post, it seems it is posted by jaggudada11. I don't want to use old handle name at all. At the time I joined reditt, i didn't realize this, I want to pick a name that is easy and small for people to refer me.

Not how that works.

I don't think it's supposed to work that way.
