Changing User Name
Changing User Name
How does a forum member change a user name? It doesn't appear that one can do this through the user profile in the user control panel, although one can change one's password there.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Google knows all. But I will give you a hint.

Re: Changing User Name
Gordon...
I'm curious. Do you want to modify your user name (so that we still know that it's you), or do you want to change it altogether (and simply start over as a new person, so to speak)? If that latter, why? With almost 4000 posts under your belt, you are pretty well established around here. And, as the other respondents will attest to, so is your avatar.

Re: Changing User Name
I am not Gordon, but occasionally I am playing with an idea of getting a new Boglehead persona, a male persona. But as you say, it's difficult to give up the 7,000-post legacy.cinghiale wrote:Gordon...

Re: Changing User Name
Victoria,
Yes, but... wouldn't it be easier to open a separate account attached to a separate e-mail with a new, dictinct user name? (Uh, oh... am I suggesting something that is strictly verboten here?) That way, you could indulge your alternative persona, and still maintain your solidly-established place on the forum.

Re: Changing User Name
Yes, that's what I meant. Different screen name, different email address, playing Victor and Victoria simultaneously, and keeping fingers crossed that Alex and LadyGeek won't notice .cinghiale wrote:Victoria,

Ah, that's a violin she is holding:

I never heard of her and did not recognize the picture. So no opinion positive or negative from me.

Re: Changing User Name
PM a moderator or site admin (like me). The important point is that all of the posts will change to reflect the new name.gkaplan wrote:How does a forum member change a user name?

Thanks.
You can change your signature or avatar in the User Control Panel at any time.
