I was wondering if I can do this as the number that plugged in was an automatic fill in when I registered. I'd kinda like a friendlier name to have on the site, more reflective of me.

I didn't have success on the user control panel so I thought I'd ask.

Thanks.

Start a new one. It's the only way I know to do this.

Thanks, Jim...I tried but it was rejected as my email address was "active".
Hmmmmm. I guess I'll just have to be the robot name for now, lol. Thanks!

:lol: bunch-of-numbers-and-a-letter is not the most warm and fuzzy username, 'tis true!

What if you write your name or a name as your signature along with your quote?

Or just use or get another email address & use it. That should work, then you can have the new user name.

If I were you, I'd get a free email address, choose a new user name, and if you want to be linked to your old name, but it in your signature line. Take care, LauraA

Well, I think 25752b is kind o' catchy. 2b or not 2b! I'd embrace it. But I'm weird like that.

Another way is to ask admin do deactivate your account then you should be able to register again using the same e-mail. voila!

I wanted to change my name too - I originally started my account when I was still eating a raw vegan diet, so I used my same sweetfruitlover name that I had on the various raw discussion forums I frequented.

As time went on and I gave up fruit and replaced it with starch as my main source of calories, I wanted to change my name. I ran into the same problem that you did. But I have several email accounts, so I just started this one from another account.

You can go on gmail and get another email account for free in a matter of minutes.
