Username change

loucroft · 6 February 2009 at 6:01PM

Hi

Am I able to change my username at all, or do I need to re-register? I am about to post a thread on what has been proved as a very dodgy company and my username is a bit 'obvious' as they have my address etc

Thanks in advance

Hi loucroft,

You can't change your username but you can re-reg with a different one if you'd prefer.

Thanks hun, I really don't want them to trace me isn't that awful. Thankfully now we are going through reputable local companies only... sorry I can't tell you, all I can say is kitchen and if you are buying a new one then search the site in a few hours!

Thanks again lorweld

An admin could technically change your username using the administration console but:

1) The account will still be the same and the posts you just made will show your new name
2) any posts of yours that have been quoted will still show the old name
3) Not sure what the policy is here but a lot of forum admins don't do this as it becomes too much work if lots of people constantly change names plus changing of names sometimes confuses other members
