[AnnoMundi]

Who are the moderators on here, I don't quite know how to navigate this forum yet.

I would like to change my username to ElvesWearBoots, just as it is written, that was my username at the Black Sabbath Boards.

Can I change my username, is it allowed?

[Charger]

If you want to I can change it for you but that's it...can't change it again though.

Yes please do Charger, I won’t ask to change it again.

I want my username to look like this ElvesWearBoots.

When I log in type that username and my current password correct?

Note that we can change the display name much more easily. You would keep the same username and password for logging in, but your display name would be different.

What Zzzz said.

I can change your display name but your username would still remain the same...

If you want I CAN also change your username but then it would also automatically reset your password to a default which it would send over to you via e-mail. I have not done that before so I do not know if it might cause some other complications as well...

Other than causing the entire United Nations General Assembly to laugh at us, there should be no other complications.

But that pretty much happens on daily basis anyways so I suppose we can live with it...especially since we truly are making forums great again!

I’m sorry I don’t understand what you or Charger mean by username would stay the same my display would change.

That’s ok then you can leave it be, thank you for trying though.

OK, no problem... I can explain:

Each account has an username and a display name.

By default, the display name is the same as the username.

We use the username to log on to the forums, that's how our initial account is created. All our information is connected to that username.

The display name is one of those pieces of information.

If I change the username, that's a big operation as far as the database is concerned, and results in you changing how you log on to the forums.

If I change the display name, you will keep your original username/password in order to log on to the forums. *But* once you log in with "Annomundi", you could have "ElvesWearBoots" just above your avatar. That's all, just the display name changed, no need to work over the database or anything. As simple as changing your signature or some other bit of information like that.

I recommend you keep "AnnoMundi" as your username for logging on to the forums, but we change your username to "ElvesWearBoots". So that is what I will do, if you give me the go-ahead.
