Changing a name

Postby docjocoy » Mon Mar 22, 2010 1:26 pm

How can a name be changed in the database? Electric Car is now Red Tesla (ch c. 2008 Decarchy/Electric Chair).
Thanks.

There's no way to change names. You have to delete the horse and re-add it under the new name. I like to add a note about the name change in the comment field; your mileage may vary.

I took care of Red Tesla for you. :)
