How can one change their user name

The boat is going and I might not want the association with the new owner whoever they may be.

 

 

Account settings / display name / change

I think you  an change the display name within account settings, but to change it permanently, you probably have to ask a moderator to intervene.

Not sure what you mean. If you change it you then log in with the new name but same password.

 

You can only change it once every 180 days though.

 

Caveat - unless something has changed following a forum software update.

Fair enough. It used to be that it could only be changed by a moderator. It looks like the software now allows the display name as a log in. I assumed that may be different than user name. Apparently not. 

 

I hope Loddon wanted to be gumpy and not grumpy 😂

Is GUMPY an acronym?

Yes GUMPY is correct comes from the fact that a two year old can't say grumpy

On Thunderboat the user log in and display name can be two different things. Other forums are like that too.

 

I dont think here is.

That is quite possible as I can't change my username due to there being no change button.

 

Possibly because you are a moderator??

 

Loddon has successfully changed his.

So if you've blocked somebody irritating/hateful and they change their name, do they reappear in your feed? That would be annoying... 😞

 

Mind you, that works both ways... 😉

Not sure with this forum software, but with the variety of other softwares I've worked with each user has a unique ID (always numeric) and all actions and preferences are keyed on the ID. Numbers are faster than text in SQL DB's (or they used to be ...). As this is a well established forum software I'd expect it to be the same.
