Changed my name
Hi, this is your founder sonkem here, just to let you know my username is now Scellanis
So now premium users can change their usernames. Its in settings and there are a few conditions:
1. Cannot change it back if you decide you don't like the new one anymore
2. Can only change it once every 6 months so make sure you spell it correctly.
My new username, Scellanis is from Tolkien's elvish language, it is a name for an elf from Mirkwood/Greenwood and it means Shade Maiden.
REMEMBER if you want to enter the May challenge you must credit the stock properly. Its not hard, I have provided a How To, you can find this on our front page below the current journal. You must also notify the stock provider by sending a link to your picture. Often they have a rule for how they want to receive that, please check their rules.
Also remember that I check the rules of the stock images I choose, there should be nothing to catch you out like non-commercial use or no off-site use, if you use other stock as well you must check that provider's own rules yourself. I'm only looking after the stock I pick, if you break someone else's rules that's your problem to solve.
