Getting your tags on Discord
To join the NRNS Discord server click an
NRNS Discord invite link, accept the invite, and
create an account if you don't have one already.
Screenshots here. If you are an NRNS member you will need to
let us know your Discord name so we can add you as a member.
What is Discord?- Discord is a chat platform like Teamspeak and Ventrilo with heavy emphasis on text-based group chat. Discord advertises itself as being an "All-in-one voice and text chat for gamers that's free, secure, and works on both your desktop and phone." Discord can also be used without running a separate client by using it directly in a web browser.
Creating a Discord account.- It's important that you create an actual Discord account (for example by registering or by verifying your existing temporary account by email). Every time you connect to Discord and enter a display name Discord creates a new temporary account for you. These temporary accounts are not automatically assigned to the member group (they're also not actually temporary since they stick around forever, even if you only use them once).
How to find your Discord name.- Your Discord name is displayed at the bottom left of the discord window (the 4-digit number is a part of the Discord name that can uniquely identify users who use the same name). If you cannot see your full name or do not know what to copy just go to your 'My Account' or 'Profile' screen and copy the 'USERNAME' field. Screenshots here.
You can change your name on Discord.- This will affect your name in all Discord servers.
Screenshots here.- Click the settings cog in the bottom left near your username.
- Click 'My Account' then 'Edit'.
- Enter your new username and current password then click 'Save'.
- Note you can also set your avatar here.
You can change your display name for each server.- This will only affect your display name in the Discord server you set it for. The NRNS Discord server prevents public users from changing their display name (but you can request a name change from a Discord admin).
