+cachenut06 Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 I was wondering if it would be possible to "reformat" my username. I didnt do a capital C when i created my username, and i was wondering if it can be changed without creating a whole new profile. If i have to recreate a new profile, ill just let it go.

tttedzeins Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 I believe that if you pay Jeremy hugh sums of money (cash, no credit card or anything like that) he might consider it. Basically you are stuck with it as I think that changing usernames has been stopped Quote Link to comment
+Isonzo Karst Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 There's an entry in the FAQ's on username changes. And the answer is no.... Quote Link to comment
+ePeterso2 Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 On another unrelated site I frequent, users have the ability to change the capitalization of their names. I could change my name and become ePETerSo2 or ePeteRsO2 or ePEtERSo2 or epetersO2, just for fun. But I could never be ePeterso1 or ePeterso22. This works because all of the player-name searches are case insensitive, just as they seem to be here when doing a username lookup. However, that works only because there is also a player ID number that's fixed and acts as a key to the player table. I don't know how the database here is structured, but if your user name is the primary key (instead of some invisible internal number), then allowing capitalization changes might be impractical or impossible.

nonaeroterraqueous Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 You'll get used to it. At least it's a name people can actually say. Quote Link to comment

+Team Rat Pack (led by Miss Bi) Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 You'll get used to it. At least it's a name people can actually say. Yeah we asked to drop the (led by Miss Bi) part of our name because our elderly Schnauzer is retired from Caching but we could not. So I guess we will be "led by Miss Bi" long after she has gone to that great cache hunt in the sky!! Quote Link to comment
+StarBrand Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 I don't think you can change it but it doesn't look bad as is - it is readable. Quote Link to comment

+Lovey Pigs Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 guess i'm the same way, that i did not know we were so 'locked' into our username for life. i simply used a 'generic' name. So, no biggie, life goes on, even with a 'boring' user name. mdegarmo (Zzzzzzzz) Quote Link to comment
