Change username

Post by 807 » Sun Jun 27, 2010 8:14 pm

How do I change my user name? I tried looking at the "Profile" page, and understand how to change my email address, and password. But I don't see a way to change my username.

You can't.

You can, however, create a new username and use it for all future posts.

But beware that on your posts it will probably say "also posted as..." and your previous name. I think it knows IP addresses or something.

you can contact cpap.com and ask them about changing your name - it has happened

the also posted as shows up on "guest" post - when people have not posted logging in - as long as you post logged in, your post shouldn't show up as an "also posted as" however if you do post as a guest sometime with the same IP number as a known poster, then all posters using that IP number will show up with the "also posted as"
