Hello. I would like to change my username. I have looked at User CP but can't see how to do it. If it's not possible to change, how do I delete it so I can create a new one?
Thanks for the anticipated help.
Change is as good as a free holiday

    Are you going to want to change your name every two days?

    :rolleyes:

    You cant change your username (at least not normally). You might as well re-register as youve got a very small post count.

    What if you have a large post count? I have posted over 200 posts within two months but I wanted to change my name. Oh well, I guess I'm stuck with my name then!

    Yes but the point made by FT1 is they won't change user names unless its to change from an email address, website or real name.

    Obviously, but why should they just because someone wants to change their ID after two days?

    :naughty:
