I understand but I really hate being called what my parents call me

#102

Well, as long as you understand the consequences.
Changed.

#103

Thank u. Very much appreciated

#104

In much the same way as what appears to be many others, I clearly done goofed! Any chance mine can be changed to OneSicBunny, please?

Much rather that than my real name (I’ll be honest, I don’t even remember setting it). I believe I only have the one post so far. Many thanks in advance! :grinning:

#105

Sure. No problem.

If you’re cagey about your email being displayed as your name (as distinct from your username) go to preferences and edit it into something different.

#106

Thanks! I was trying to navigate on my phone, which probably didn’t help matters. Think I’ve got it sussed now. Cheers again!

A formal request (i’m even wearing PANTS) to change my username to bergz4lyfe, please.

Also, sorry for the necro-thread.

#112

Ah… I GUESS i’ll pass then. I don’t really care about my posts, but i just realized that it would confuse the people who know me on here. Thanks for the warning. Can you close that irrelevant “goodbye” thread of mine though, please?

#114

Yes, sir.

#115

Can I be Axtonmania as per my steam handle? Thanks :smile:

#116

No problem! Just keep in mind a renaming will disconnect your profile from your post-history.

Do you want it anyway?

#117

Sure.

AxtonMania please. Thanks :slight_smile:

I’ve a weird question – if one decides to change their name from, say “Alpha >> Bravo”, all posts (as Alpha) will be disconnected from their account, correct? If they choose to change back from “Bravo >> Alpha”:

  • can they change their name back, or would they have to subtly alter it with differentiation?
  • if they can change back to their original username, would all posts attached to their original username that had been severed upon the account’s username alteration be reattached to their account, akin to how an amputated limb can be surgically reattached? (Forgive me for the squishy analogy, guys…)

A name change to EldritchArcana would be swell.
