How do I change my user name on here

maryfrench

As above I would like to change it to something else. I have tried but there is only an option to change the password and email address unless I am missing it. Thanks.

Can't easily I am afraid I have tried , but unless there are exceptional circumstances .... Create a new one.

You can ask. They changed mine, but that was years ago!


Mine was either my real name or my email address if I remember correctly.

Don't think you can. I had to create a new profile when I wanted to change mine.

You cannot, unless your current user name puts your privacy at risk.

As others have already said, you can't.
As far as I am aware, there is nothing to stop you registering with a new name and simply ceasing to use your old name.
The down side is that you will have to put up with the newbie status and not be allowed to post links for a while.

Dependant on the site's forum settings you may not be able to use the same email address for more than one account.

Wouldn't bother asking, they will just ignore your email and not even bother to give you a response as I found out........

Why would they need to respond when the answer is already available in the FAQ?
