name change

[petite anglaise]

I am no longer with my partner and would therefor like to change my user name. I know it must be simple to do but I'm having a bit of a blonde moment and can't work it out! Help please.

Simply send an email to contact@geocaching.com from the email registed on your account (i guess they need to identify you by some way) requesting to change your nickname. I've done that, they only took a few hours to do it

cheers

Thank you have just sent email hopefully can start caching again under new name.

Be patient - in my case it took a couple days for their helpdesk to get around to it, but it's no problem to do it.

 

I do think they frown on frequent name changes however.

LOL!!! I hadn't intended having to change my name in the first place certainly don't plan to change it again!

First time I've been in the forums for a bit. I was looking at the list of 'Cachers with more than 200 finds' and noticed that there was a new 'leader'. Team Alamo was missing from the top spot and someone who's name I did not recognize was there. Interested in finding out who had found 35,000+ caches in such a short time that they didn't show on the board at all the last time I checked, I looked at their profile only to find a name change.

 

Hmmm. A name change.

The reason I'm here. At one point in the not too distant past, Groundspeak banned all -through their servers- name changes, period. Basically put, the only way to change your name was to re-log all your finds under the new name (and then delete all your old logs, if you wanted to). Nice to see that it is allowed again, as I'm certain my 8 y.o. son will not want to be referred to as Mr Stinkyman forever.

I did this yesterday, still need to change my username here though, any idea if thats something I should email someone about or just create a new username?

But yeah, it took less than 24hrs for my username to be changed
