I was wondering how you can change the username in the profile.
Some of you have custom names… and I am @969823ab4485c3f2e393 … I’d rather be not that random number.
Can someone let me know how you did it? The preferences seem only to allow the change of full name.
Oh well. But at least you cleared up something for me… I was assuming people wanted those weird usernames… I thought they were being clever in hexadecimal or something. Hopefully/maybe @JamesChevalier will pop his head in.
I’m curious on this, too. I didn’t remember having a crazy looking #/letter user name before, but perhaps I wasn’t paying attention. It certainly makes me think I look like I’ve taken my anonymity to an obnoxious level. It’s much easier to track a conversation with names of some kind in it.
Outside of a 3 day window after joining the forum, only I can change people’s username. This is because changing your username is extremely destructive - changing it breaks all previous links that reference it.
