[Merged] Does Anyone Know How To CHANGE your Username

I'd like to know if it's possible to CHANGE my username ..... Wanna keep hiding from those stoooples spies etc... thx!

i don't think it is possible....but i guess you can ask a mod.....you never know....
i'm sure some people would LOVE to change their usernames!!

Generally, we don't allow people to change usernames as it causes too much confusion. Furthermore, if we allowed one person to change their names, we'd have to allow everyone to do it which would result in an administration nightmare.

hahah.

I wish I could change my username too. I came here, registered just for a PM. Since nobody can resist RFD, I was addicted. Then I got 700+ posts, don't want to start back at 0 now.

Sure, you just don't want to remembered for starting that flower thread everywhere.

Which is the main reason why changing usernames isn't enabled.

Just imagine how many VD/Cummer wannabes would be changing their names once they make a complete fool of themselves.

yeah, even on eBay I wish it wasn't allowed. Too confusing.

this isnt in the faq, but it doesnt look to be possible... oh well....

hello i didnt know where to put this but i'd like to change my username
this is so it's in line with my <a href=../autolink/redirectpage.php?linkid=78 target=_blank>ebay</a> and heatware account to show good feedback
old name - musak99
new name - eon90210

thank you!

just make a new account

We do not change usernames unless there are some special circumstances. With that in mind, your best bet is to let us know that you want to close this account to open another with another name. We do not allow more than one account per user.

but my post count my post count! yes i know it's nothing to be proud of but still...and that i would consider a special circumstance =)

This would be a nice feature to have, although it would be difficult to implement. I've thought about changing my user name & wishing there was a way for me to transfer my posts #'s to a new username.
BUt I have to live with teh consequences.

I figure that some users may outgrow thier username after a few years. It would be nice if it was a feature available to you after you reach a certain number of posts?

I guess this is why people need to take precaution when choosing a username. Its almost like getting a tatoo. Once you have it its with you for life.

i dont like to change usernames.

I have used this nickname since i got into computers.

i use it any forum or any stie i join.

so if you guys see Hughg that most likely is me lol.

Why not try changing usernames on heatware or <a href=../autolink/redirectpage.php?linkid=78 target=_blank>ebay</a>. I know on <a href=../autolink/redirectpage.php?linkid=78 target=_blank>eBay</a> you can change your username without any problems.
