User Name Change?
RustyNuts - 8/5/11 at 02:42 PM

To the Admins.

Is it possible to change ones user name.
I've just noticed while reading some posts I'm not the only, nor indeed the original RustyNuts
there is of cource a 'Rusty Nuts' on the forum as well.

Apologies to the original Rusty Nuts.

Short answer.....No
At least it was the last time I asked

With your number of posts it may be easier to cut your losses and start with a new username?

Amazing the user names you can come up with in the middle of the night, that later make no sense...

Username changes don't worX...

The problem is this forum software uses the user name as the database key for all posts/u2us etc. It doesn't do the more usual db thing of assigning a user a number and then allowing the name to change. Changing the name means changing all copies of the name across all the database tables. Doable (I did it for SELOC which runs the same software), but it does require a chunk of code being written.
