Hey i know this maybe a complete dumb question but how can you change your username? Much appreciated.

Silver Springs · #2 09-10-2011, 02:18 PM

You can't.

Oh thats kinda dumb. It would be nice to be able to change it since you can change everything else. Oh well now i know . thank you for the reply :-)

Silver Springs · #4 09-10-2011, 02:54 PM

Well. Not...that...dumb. If people were able to change their usernames willy nilly nobody would know who anybody was. It's not really needed as a user controllable function, I feel.

That's dumb? Yeah well it's standard on pretty much any message board. Say maybe "common" is more appropriate word.

How frightfully bourgeois.

Indeed.

oh dear well sorry me ..i found it be a random question.

Once someone posts, changing a username causes system problems.

**mylittledemon** · #13 09-10-2011, 08:24 PM

No, you said it was a dumb one.

All good though, now ya know eh?

I think it makes sense to keep the same user name to avoid confusion, but if you're new and only a few posts in on here why not just delete your account and make a new one, carefully choosing a name you'll like and be content with?

That unfortunately is not possible. You cannot change screen names, delete a current account for a new one, etc. Our system checks for duplicate IP addresses and the new account would never be activated. Not to mention that even if our system allowed duplicate screennames per IP, or allowed us to change users screennames, people would most certainly abuse the privilege. Members would start taunting each other under faux screennames, we moderators would spend all our time switching out screennames, etc. Not being able to change your screenname is also about personal responsibility: stand behind what you do & say. If you can't stand behind your actions, don't do them in the first place.
