Is there any way to change our screen name or do we have to create a new account?

Become a gold/lifetime donor to change your name. But I think you need a legitimate reason to do so.

Thank you.👍

No reason necessary, but you need to be a donor. Further info here https://help.studentdoctor.net/entries/94482-change-member-name

can you change it as often as you want once you're a donor?

Hmm I haven't encountered that specifically. I think that you could change it a few times but I wouldn't go crazy

It can take a little while for the request to be processed since the forums have to be shut down when it happens. I guess what I'm trying to say is that even as a donor, you wouldn't be able to change your screenname by yourself. Only a handful of people can change it for you. You have to submit the request each time

Thanks for the clarification, sector9. I looked in the link, and the reason why I thought a legitimate reason was necessary is:

Name change is unfortunately a complicated process which requires volunteer staff editing and temporarily disables our servers during the process.

So I thought it was necessary to mention in the help desk.
