Change user name?
Can I change my user name without losing all of my posts? I could not find an answer in the FAQs or using "help".
Thanks in advance for the help.

I'm not sure you can change your user name. All I saw was that you could change the description under your name (and that won't change your post count).

You have to request help from a moderator. I know they can do it, but they likely have better things to do.
Your old posts simply appear with your new name. Have a 'valid' reason ready. |

entertaining the idea

I wouldn't mind changing mine. It's an old AOL instant messaging name from college. I just used the name so I could quickly post a question in the 944 tech forum. I didn't put too much thought into it at the time. Who knew I would still be here after all these years?

When I first joined Pelican, I had my last name as my user name. I later had it changed by a moderator. I explained the reason for the request and it was done. None of the previous posts were lost, but were under my new user name.

OJU did it because of former wife/legal issues. That qualifies as a "damn good reason". I'm pretty sure most legal type situations would too. Milt did it also - don't know the specifics and don't care but just sayin' yeah it can be done and has been.

Thanks for the responses. I don't have a "damned good reason" - I just want to change to a user name that is more representative of how I feel. A car doesn't have to be "fast" for me to like it (not that I don't like fast cars).
Didn't know the mods were so tough. If any moderator is reading this & would like to help me change my user name, please send me a PM. Your help would be appreciated.

Why not just change your avatar to a pic of the 911 fan? (change the meaning)

It can definitely be done, but yep, you'll need a good reason other than "I want to" I had it done about 5 years ago from l33t9eek.
