Sorry, but no. Only Supporters can get a name change, and then only once.

There IS an alternative...
(I dunno if it would be attractive to you)

That is to dump the one you have, and re-register.

A Long time ago, I had to do that at a few sites, but fortunately at this one I got exactly what I wanted on the first try, but still - you have only 68 post so far, it would not be too hard to gain back what you would give up

Sometimes it is worth it to get what you really want it to be.

You can also check to see what usernames are available HERE:

https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/memberlist.php

The old and new names would also be recognizable because they are so similar, so everyone will still know it is YOU


~Wolfie

I will offer you an incentive - if that is what you choose to do, post with the new name in this thread, and I will rep you (send rep points) at once!

Unhappy

Name is not being changed though, only changing lower case letters that should have been capitalized?

Same thing - when you do that - it is case sensitive
OR (if it won't take it) put spaces between

~Should go, one way or the other

You have by no means used all of the characters that you can!

YOU ARE USING 8 character spaces - in fact,
you can use as many as sixteen

You could go with:

Ford for Her
and it would only be twelve, with 4 spaces leftover unused...

It would read a lot easier too....

I have "WOLFED IT OUT", and I know you can



*The spaces in between also count, there's lots of room

Supporters can change their username, eh.. interesting.. Now what should I change mine to - theologian is hardly the direction I lean nowadays.

Ever read the "Eragon" series by Christopher Paolini?

In it - the hero at a point has to discover his "True Name".

Think of everything you are, everything you want to be, and what you want to do...

Above all - take your time!

PS: I imagine this means another eventual graphics challenge as far as an avatar as well... I still have the software I used to make the ones I gave you and Sissy, not to mention my own. But such things are far advanced from what I had, and you should now know enough to craft something personal. You might want to tinker with that first - until something 'connects'

PPS: I just saved a copy just in case

I had thought about changing my 'Furyus1' username since I no longer own the Gran Fury the username was originally based off of. But, as much as I try to deny it, there is an underlying reason why I chose that username (I still have the license plates off that car) - The sole reason why I have survived as long as I have (40+ years) is because of my hatred, anger, and the refusal to let Mother Earth kill me - oh, she tried, many times - I was a "crib death" baby who was forced to survive and it's been an ongoing battle ever since... I am a stubborn sonavabitch and, when I inherited the Gran Fury, the first thought I had was "ah hell, ain't that the furious one"... It stuck with me and I'm not ready to let it go - it's who I am... Sorry for my rambling, but I've got a few beers in me and felt like rambling...

Don't feel ashamed for whatever username you choose - It's just a forum, it's not your life. The username is simply an identifier, nothing more. It can't define who or what you are unless you choose to make it so.

Fury? Mine IS WHO I AM (ask Theo)

What I said above holds true.

Sometimes who we are changes, and our true name then also does. But I have always been a man equally comfortable in shadow and bright of day - that IS me

~BUT NEVER BLACK! Dark doings make me fear for others, and I have always wanted to be there if I could help.

What is a Wolf? I think Wolves are misunderstood - we are family collecting, and defending types...

I have always known that you have a fury inside you.

One day you will have to come to grips with that and settle it once and for all - BUT I AIN'T YOUR SOCIAL WORKER!


You've got to come to terms with who you are yourself



Well... Ain't budwieser bitchen!

I got me one too

TERRY? All I can tell you is that one day I will come to Idaho, and we can talk around a late night fire in a circle of stones
~Over the internet isn't close enough

My only plan ever since I was young has always been to travel all over the USA and see everything...
Everything I have done since is in support of that
I get cabin fever quicker than anyone I know - but I won't be pinned down much longer

~Wolf out

I think your current user name is cool, kinda like the iPhone, iPad thing.

Keep it, be different.
