Here lately, I've been thinking (uh-oh, dangerous activity). When I registered here after the move, I registered with "jyndral" again so there'd be some kind of consistency. If I wanted to change my ID, would I have to re-register or is there a way to do it without going through all that?

If I could change, I'd change it to my name. Heck, it's everywhere anyway. In my sig line, on all the pages that are linked in my sig line. All that good stuff. I'd change it to JenNipps.

If it can't be done, though, that's OK. I'll stick with jyndral.

My best advice would be to PM Jenna or ChunkyC--I imagine either of them would take care of that for you.

It can be done, Jen. Like Mac said, just let Jenna or myself know when you're ready. We'll need to give the system a few minutes to change all of your existing posts over to use the new name, and from that point on, you'll need to use the new username to sign on (your password will remain the same).

PS -- you might want to go into your sig afterward and change it to let everyone know you used to be jyndral.

CC, I was also thinking of asking you or Jenna for a name change for a bit more anonymity. I noticed that users are tracked with a number in the database, so I figured it wouldn't be that difficult to do. Can I also PM you when I am ready for a name change?

Thanks. And I'll do that. :) Anytime will be fine. I'll be out most of the day tomorrow (I think) for my sister-in-law's birthday, so that should give things plenty of time to reset or whatever they need to do.

Ummm....

Maybe I should send this in a PM to you too?

Uh-huh everyone wants to be like Renee...(or is that like Mike? hehe)....too funny William! (BTW- why did you change your location from Hell, Texas? That was cool!)

;)

I seem to have enough trackers (PA mess - no I don't mean PA-ers) right now, having shared my real name, so I do believe I've tarnished (nah) my name all that needs to be. Both of us postin' with the same name? Lord, then I'd really have some problems - :)we're both brutally honest! Yup - problems..lol..

Seriously though I started as afanofthetruth and then decided to let everyone know who I was. Now that everyone knows, well I think it's better to have a less track ya down name - especially as much as I cut up around here. (Help I can't shut up)

PS- Thanks Chunky for the PM about changing my name!
:thankyou:

I'm considering going with something different, as well, but I'm still thinking it over. Will be in touch with Admin when I decide. :)

When I signed up here, I was thinking of it more as a business thing. I didn't realize I'd get so involved in the antics here as well. I love it! :)

Hey, guys, change your names if you want, but keep in mind that all the new members (me!) are just learning your names. Now, ya'll go and change them on us, and it'll really be one scary place around here!!

:crazy: :Headbang: :flag:

I got the same reaction when I changed my avatar. It took some people a few days to realize who I was. :)

Is it possible to change your username?

When I first registered on this site, I didn't give much thought to my username. I noticed that most of the posters here have names which are a little more indicative of their personalities or their interests. Now I'm wanting to have something similar.

Is it possible to change my username without having to re-register all over again? And if my username was changed, would all the threads I started/ posts I made also have the new username too? And what about my post count? Would that stay the same?

Thanks

I'm sure it can be done, and with your handle all mods should make every effort to do so.

Yes, but you'll have to PM Jenna or ChunkyC to have them change it for you.

Yes.

Yes.


You're welcome. :)

is there a way for me to change my user name?

I have an internet stalker :p and I'd like to change my user name as it is so "obvious"

I think if I shortened it to Talia it would make it harder for this individual to spy on everything I do online (hoping they haven't already found me in this forum)

We recently had another member request the same and had their username changed. I suggest you contact Mac (site owner) or ChunkyC with this request.

Good luck (with the stalker)

I don't think they'll specifically look in this forum. It's not something that's likely to occur to them but if they keep googling my name this could pop up. At the moment I'm being stalked in 2 forums and having a lot of my other activity "watched" and commented on

Thanks Spooky - will contact chunkyc
