Hi there,
I have been able to find answers to most of my questions so far through this forum and Google searches, but I am really stuck on this one: is it possible to change the portal ID number to some more releveant title? I have seen a text box where I thought it would be the right place to change this in Admin >> Site Settings >> Advanced Settings >> Home Directory but the box is greyed out and I cannot change the name. I suppose this has to do with the fact that it would mess up my portal, but if I just modify the name of the portal's folder in my DNN installation, what happens? Are there settings I can amend in some file?
Help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

no, you cannot alter id to a name, as the id is stored in a typed db field and needs to be integer and the path is constructed automatically in the the core code - to change this behaviour, you might need to alter the core code at multiple locations and maybe even modules as well.
