CharlieZulu Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 I would like to change my username from charliezulu to CharlieZulu i.e. no spelling changes, just capitalization. Is this possible??
+briansnat Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 Not a getting started issue. Moving to appropriate forum.
+Corp Of Discovery Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 I just checked and it doesn't look like you can. Whether TPTB can (or will) is another story.
+palmetto Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 I was told by a lackey that there's no mechanism for name change, "hydee couldn't change her user name." You create the new account, adopt your coins/TBs and caches over to the new account and relog old finds under the new name. Or, you get used to the one you have.....
+Algonquin Bound Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 cz,or should I say CZ? I know of a certain cacher, whom you also know, who successfully changed her name. Perhaps you can e-mail her and find out how she did it. So that she won't be bombarded with requests, you'll recognize her as AA.
+DavidMac Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 Usernames are not case sensitive, although they are displayed with the capitalization you entered when you registered; you can type charliezulu,CharlieZulu, or CHARLIEZULU on the login screen, and any combination of upper/lowercase will log you in (they are all considered to be the same username). Unfortunately, this means that you won't be able to re-register a new account using your old username with a different combination of capitol letters, as the website will report that the name has already been taken.
+Ambrosia Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 cz,or should I say CZ? I know of a certain cacher, whom you also know, who successfully changed her name. Perhaps you can e-mail her and find out how she did it. So that she won't be bombarded with requests, you'll recognize her as AA. I doubt that she changed it after the user name lock down. From what I understand, it's a programming issue so it shouldn't have been possible.
