Question Can u change your User ID ??

I sent this question to the tech link the other day but havent got an answer (maybe i did something wrong) anyway going to try here...

Iam feeling my User ID "06_KingRanch" is well a bit under-thought & i have come up with something more "personal" & after viewing the Members List my idea isnt taken, so id like to change my User ID but do NOT want to **** away all my postings/progress from the last 1.5 years.....Can this be done

Not easily. We try to encourage people to think of a good username that they'll be comfortable with for the long run, because once you have it, you're going to be pretty much stuck with it, with a few rare exceptions under special circumstances. This may sound a little harsh but the reason for it is that this is a huge site with many members and as it grew, the admins began to get bogged down with so many requests for name changes that they were having a hard time getting their other work done. But don't lose hope, it may be possible at some point in the future.

I'm not sure why it says that...it still would have to be done by an admin. I can't even do it as I'm not high enough up in the FTE food chain.

What is "customizable" for supporters is the user title, which is beneath the user name.


Where it says "Senior User" in your case

Right, that's it. I guess I was having a Senior moment there and it slipped my mind. Hey, I'm still recovering from a head injury, I'm lucky if I can remember my own name at this point...!


06_KingRanch, I sent you a PM...

Hey, be happy with your name. At least most people can understand it.

Or you wind up with a username that is interpreted differently than what you intended - Mine was based off of a Plymouth Gran Fury - not because I'm "furious" all the time LOL - not anymore, anyway ...
