Adjusting your username?

Options
Hello everyone,

I am new so if this is in the wrong place apologies!!!!

Ok when I registered I did not realise my caps lock was on hence I now have a username that "shouts" at everyone :eek: (oh I found the smilies :D )

What I would like to know if there is anyway I can adjust my username so it's not so offensive :o

Thank you!!

    Only by emailing admin, and asking them to change it, but they get very busy, so you might not have much luck.

    I don't think there's another way.

    You'd need to use a different email address

    In normal forum etiquette using capital letters in a post is considered shouting but in a username it isn't really - it is just another way of making your name stand out a bit like some people might use symbols etc.

    I would say just leave it as it is

    I can't see anything wrong with it - it certainly doesn't offend me in any way!

    If you want, you could still email admin and just ask them if they can change it from Upper to lower case ~ they can only say No! :)
