+the_bell_dingers Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 I e-mailed this question once before and a friend, who just changed his name, his reply was: "Please ensure the username is available before making the request via this page: http://www.geocaching.com/email/ . If the username already exists and has ever been validated, or the username has been used in any way, then the username is not available. The request for a username change needs to be made from the email address in your account profile. Provide the current username as well as the requested new username. Please make sure you specify the exact spelling, spacing and capitalization for your new username. When the username is changed, all other account information will remain the same. So your logs, caches and trackables will be under the new username. You will need to manually edit the "placed by" for any caches you own, however." hope this helps! Quote

As is my hope of getting the username I've wanted for years, seeing as the clown who visited for one day, and is surely never going to visit again, had to go and validate it. That policy should really be changed. Quote
