Title: HELP needed CHANGING my USERNAME login Post by: thouchins on April 04, 2011, 04:44:06 pm Can anyone show me the steps for changing my login USERNAME?
My profile shows that I can change my login PASSWORD but I don't see any way of changing my USERNAME to something else. and help is appreciated. Terry Title: Re: HELP needed CHANGING my USERNAME login Post by: BrianS on April 04, 2011, 05:20:00 pm Terry,
There is a Menu in hte upper portion of the page - right under your Avatar. Gives you the choice to pick Home, Help, Search, Profile, etc. Select Profile. This brings up a new page with your current account info. To the left are 2 headings, "Profile Info" and "Modify Profile". If you click on "Account Related Settings" under the "Modify Profile" tab, it will take you to the page to change your username. Title: Re: HELP needed CHANGING my USERNAME login Post by: thouchins on April 04, 2011, 05:26:14 pm That's the page I've been going to. It shows my USERNAME but the option to change it is not offered.
Below it is NAME, and there is an option to change it. But I don't want to change the NAME (that's the one everyone can see), I want to change the USERNAME (which is what's needed on logging-in).

OR Create an all new account. You only have 5 posts and no loss there, so just create a new account with the User Name you want. Title: Re: HELP needed CHANGING my USERNAME login Post by: dr galaga on April 05, 2011, 05:14:03 pm Terry-
Send me a Personal Message and let me know what you want your user name to be. It may take me a day or two to get it changed. There are problems with "just" creating a new account.

Title: Re: HELP needed CHANGING my USERNAME login Post by: dr galaga on April 06, 2011, 12:53:48 pm No problem. There are so many spam sign ups that (I think what happens is) Jim waits to hear from a person wondering why they are not approved yet. SMC gets over 1,000 sign ups per month! :oh: I was just trying to avoid him getting lost...

I'm hoping to finish testing migration of our current Forum Software, Simple Machines Forum, over to phpBB by months end... And then the fun will begin... |
