How can I change my user-name

I was just saying that it can be done as some one said they cant do it. Thanks for the official stance though ! I know how hard running forums can be

Hello Dazed,

We have the policy that the Forum Team can change user names on the grounds of safety ie using an email address or full name but they generally won't do it just because you don't like it anymore, whilst it may not take much time individually, our board is a lot busier than most and the number of requests to change names is generally quite high. I believe that most people would rather the Forum Team dealt with the more pressing issues which keeps this site running smoothly on a day to day basis than having to change hundreds of usernames because people dislike it no more.


As mentioned there are special circumstances where the team will change usernames but generally they will not practise this policy. However, as mentioned earlier it may just be easier to reregister under the desired username and simply not log onto the other account.

Thanks

More pressing issues? Like sorting out abuse reports? :think: Good on ya, because I've been waiting nearly 2 weeks for some action on my report :rolleyes:

Hi Crabman

There's nothing that old waiting to be dealt with. Did you get an automatic reply to your report? If you did then it will have been seen and any action the team thought appropriate will have been taken. If you didn't get an automatic reply then you'll need to make the report again as it's possible the team didn't receive it.

Take care

Thank you (I notice someone's already thanked you for me! ). I did get an immediate auto-reply but find it odd that nothing's happened given the nature of the posts (which still remain).

Oh well, never mind... thanks for replying to me anyhow
