Changing your username

If you are looking to change your username, we have a few guidelines we generally like to follow:
  1. Any request for a name change should be sent to an admin via private message. (List of all mods and admins can be found here)
  2. The PM should include the reason why you want to change your username.
  3. We won't allow multiple name changes, so make sure you really want to change your name.

It can be disconcerting when a user changes their name, especially if you miss their announcement of it.

Perhaps this thread could also include a list of old->new usernames?

Whenever I've changed someone's user name, I've usually had them put something in their sig or user title for a little while to signify the change.

I have noticed that journal still shows the author as my old user name.

The active user list is never alphabetical - it always puts your name first.

I'm touched that you've marked me as a buddy, though.

Huh, my old name always having been in the front, I always assumed it was alphabetical given the order of the rest of the list.

//laughs// Don't mention it.

I somehow missed this before, but having seen it, suddenly your own signature makes sense. I always just assumed you were being ornery.
