Thread: Change login?

Maybe I'm just blind, but is there any way to change our login name?

I don't think so.

an admin might be able to do it, but Im not sure why you would want too as everyone already knows you as this.

If you were to change it, I do know that in the forum not all references would change... e.g., quoted blocks. So I don't recommend it. And don't forget you have the main site to worry about, too...

Anyway, we're planning some site revisions... one of the changes is to combine the main site and the forum logins into one. Once that is complete, ask again and I'll see whether it's possible and what the ramifications might be.

You can change it (I have fat fingers and spelt Aussie as Auussie). I just typed over it and pressed OK. Worked for me.

Aussie, had you already completed setting up your account? I couldn't find any way to change the login name after the fact and I checked as soon as I'd realised I left an 'e' out of my name.

I think the only way to change it, outside of possible admin intervention, is to statr a new account. Not the biggest deal for a guy with but a handful of postings like me, but for someone else it could mean losing that flashy 'Honemeister' title and the "Total Posts:16, 735" tag in the profile page.
