    Under the old software, there was a hack developed to allow users to change their own names. Now you need a mod to do it.

    The standard routine is to send Me (or anybody else) a PM stating you want a name change, and what you want to change it to. As long as you don't change your name often, choose an already used name, or just pick one of those names we aren't going to allow... it usually gets done.

      Actually, under vB software only the information on the front page keeps the old name, all of the posts you have ever made use your new name.

      e.g. I change my name to... Frozzy II.

      If I create a thread with the name "Frozzy" before the name changes, the main forum page will display "Frozzy" as having started the thread. However, if you open that thread, the original post will say "Frozzy II, ACS News Editor, [enter location], Aug 2002, 8.29pm".

      Get it?

            Frozzy used to be Redbull. Good change.

                      On one of the other forums I visit, the user profile keeps a list of all previous usernames used by that user. That would be a handy feature to have, in my opinion.

                        True, though people can check the topped name change thread, which goes back a fair while IIRC.

                            Exactly. The thread on this subject is growing a bit long. + It would make it easier to keep track of what SS, Nimrod, :Warning:, Bodds, Park Avenue, is using as his current nick.
