A while ago, I created a single alias on a whim.  Any idea how to change it, or delete it/etc?

It seems TER has no functionality to create a new alias or modify an existing one.  Am I correct in this ?

To do so... Send Admin a message, they'll delete your current alias and you can then create a new one.

1) click on "My TER."
2) go to "Quick Links."
3) click on "My alias."  That screen will let you change it.

...anything that says "Quick Links."  2) is "More."  Then I get a drop down menu that has "My Alias."

I don't think Classic is available any more so I can't explain it.  Perhaps you have "Bizarro TER?"  LOL!

They are both there under my version of TER (which I'm pretty sure is the only version.)

No "quick links" either, just "more."

I wonder if the difference is based on the browser?

"More" is at the top and "my quick links" is on the left under the survey.

...is on the upper right just under the tabs. Both will get you to where want to go.

So what one person sees is the same thing as what everyone else sees.

Click on My TER, then look down the left hand side of the page, directly below the black "vote" tab where you can vote on each TER Poll, and right above "my reviews" you will see "quick links" If I can find it, anyone can. Even you Fish. lol

These are not newbies arguing over what they see on their screens. It's the highly unpaid assistants who are usually helping the newbies. You guys are supposed to be the guys "in the know." Lol. I probably should be upset, but I was cracking up reading all these posts.

...as Jake said, not "My Quick Links." It shouldn't have made a difference but that's what my brain was looking for.

To tell the truth, I never look at the home page/My TER except for the tabs/blue words across the top.  I wouldn't know who Miss TER is unless she's congratulated for winning on the General board.  

After 14 years, I've discovered something new.  'My Quick Links' is handy.   You CAN teach an old dog new tricks.

...to miss it.  It wasn't just me - Jack and fish couldn't initially find it either when looking for "Quick Links."

but a couple of the other members having such issues was a bit surprising, although I will admit, finding certain tabs that are right in front of you can sometimes be more challenging than you would think.
