Author	Topic: Change of Username Proposal

	Sheyla, a number of other users and I are wondering if you'd give us the option of being able to change our username just once. Would this be possible? -----signature----- Sakura Kasugano's biggest fan! http://www.myspace.com/paperparasol

	There isn't a way to simply change usernames with this forum system. The people that have changed in the past have gone through an annoyingly complex process to create a new account and have all of their admin notes transferred (by hand) from the old account to the new account. So users lose their registration date and post count, but keep all the notes of anything bad they've done in the past. Most people don't think it's worth it. For which I'm grateful, because it really is kind of a pain for me. I'm happy to do it for the odd person or two here and there, but if a flood of them started coming in, I'd have to close that option down as well. -----signature----- That which does not kill us makes us stranger.

	Many forum systems have an automated way to change user names that's really easy.. This one doesn't, unfortunately. -----signature----- That which does not kill us makes us stranger.

	I think the account you make should stay, coz once you create an account you can't change your handle (username) unless you delete your account and make a new one, but that too would not be a good idea either, that's why you have to think carefully of what you want your handle to be. So for me I say no to changing usernames, nice idea though. -----signature----- MK_FTW: Please call me Daniel. Member and Leader of MNNC, wanna join? PM me.
