I was wondering when i click my own username and then I saw my own profile there is "Display name history" on the right pane. That made me curious and began to realize if i can change my display name. I know i'm kinda bored with my mediocre username in this forum. My question is, Is there a way to change the display name?

The inside lingo had me at hello and we go where the money goes.
is the link broken? because i cant seem to access the post on that. thanks
It's a section, not a thread. You go there and you can only see your own threads. Make a post asking for your name to be changed and why you want it changed and then be patient.
Please try to make sure you want to stick with whatever name you pick though. While they are willing to change your name at least once, they'd prefer you didn't do it constantly, and if you do ask to often they may deny the name change. It takes our time and also locks out names for other people. Also, do a member search to make sure no one else has the name you're requesting.
I've never used the name change service, nor am I a staff member, so I do not know. It most likely won't be ignored, just be patient.
My req was denied, but there was a "Display Name" option in my settings that said i CAN change my name, but it keeps saying my password is wrong which it is NOT. Help?

I did it on an alternate account and it worked
Edit: so if i shouldnt be doing it then it should tell me I can't, not that my password isn't correct when it is

Because the automatic display name was added today. However, your login details won't change so you still need to log in with either your old name (aka your account name which won't change) or your email address
Because you linked them to the wrong area. Rather than having more requests within CFA about name requests, I corrected the situation at hand with the proper link to the correct area, which seems perfectly logical...

But all that link leads to is:
Oops! Something went wrong!
You do not have permission to change your display name."

Please try to figure it out.

Thanks for the help; I was wondering about the same thing.
I believe you can post a topic requesting a name change here.

No longer active.
You're simply not meant to be able to change your name by yourself. Post here requesting a name change: http://www.minecraftforum.net/forum/64-contact-forum-administration/
This looks hilarious now that you are one.

I'm not sure why you quoted me on that.

It is the subforum below this one
