i still want to buy shares thought bitfunder then change them to direct shares..
can i do that?
Yes, no problem. Just transfer them and send an email as stated somewhere above. Also please mention that you already have direct shares. I usually check for double addresses, but if I know I need to look its easier

Cheers
EDIT, transfers have been processed: new list here
http://pastebin.com/L0TRmS0G129 ppl left with 108,388 shares.
