Changing Usernames

robertm · Jun 18, 2002

Can a registered user change their username without losing "credit" for their past posts? It's just that over the past few weeks of spending time on TBN, I've seen more interesting usernames, and wish I had not gone with such a generic!

I've thought the same thing before. Should've picked a better username.

If you're going to do it, do it now. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

After seeing all the help Bunny got, I gave it some serious thought, too!

Muhammad might be able to help you do this. I just changed mine recently, and went from "Veteran User" to "New User." /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif I felt this was okay, because I'm by no means a veteran tractor user.. I just posted a lot of questions when I first joined up. My new level more accurately reflects my level of expertise.. although even now "Bronze" seems a bit too high for me. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Now I am confused !!

What did Trev used to call himself then??

BKColeman · Jun 18, 2002

Bob_Trevithick I think.

That could sure be me, too. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif I'm about embarrassed being at the Gold Member level. /w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif

Yeah, I know. Everyone reassured me that it just meant you were a veteran (or whatever) of this forum, but I've always hated titles of any kind. I detest being called Mr., for example. Just weird that way. If only there were an option here to turn off this stuff.

I may go to unregistered posting, which does circumvent the problem but creates a few others..

Oh yes, my old userid was bob_trevithick.
