USER NAME CHANGEABLE

Does anyone, or the administrator know if it is possible to change one's user name on this forum? I made the mistake of embedding my (then) truck model in my user name when joining. Big-Red-Lariat vanished 3 trucks ago. Big-Blue-Platinum is expected soon and the old user name is a misnomer.

No, you've been through this before. This how we, and everyone else here, know you and your posting history. If people changed user names every time they got a new truck, we'd be out of any viable possibilities for anyone to choose from. You are free however, to change your avatar picture and signature at will.

We should have a note to people registering that they shouldn’t pick a name based specifically on their exact truck unless they never expect to sell it. LoL

**I laugh inside when I see a name like 2020whiteXLTsport4x4MaxTow3.5EBwith19”wheelsAndBla ckInterior...

Not you...huh? Yours is a badge of honor now and your name would be waaay too long if you added all your trucks.

My example was extreme to make a point....but here are some folks that will be wanting name changes one day....

I mean, the first two Fords I owned were 1977 F250's, so I don't mind the name. I'm not looking to change. On some more "social" forums people just create new accounts to escape the sins of their past selves. Always an option here too.

Nothing stopping you from registering as a new user. Obviously your post count, subscription, etc. Wouldn't transfer.

​​​​​​It's just a user name anyways....
