+Jackis Macou Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 I'd like to be able to change my User name without having to re-log all of my finds. Will this ever be possible? Perhaps a Premium Member Perk?! Is anyone else interested in having this option? Link to comment

+-CacheMonkey- Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Go to your account settings, then click Edit. You'll see a link to change your username. My wife just did it the other day. Link to comment

+AcadianCacheSpy Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Does this also change my name on all previous logs and DNFs etc or will I still need to go back and log every one of my previous finds under my new name? Link to comment

+Kryten Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 On any caches that you own the "A cache by xxxxx" text will still show your old name but you can edit it. If you own a large number of caches it can be a bit of a pain. Link to comment

If you own a large number of caches it can be a bit of a pain. that's because the "placed by" name is a free-form text field, which doesn't necessarily correspond to any particular username.

+Team Luvbassn Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 You can only do it once. Not true, after the first name change a lackey will have to make the change manually. I changed my name from luvbassn to team-luvbassn and did not want the hyphen. It took a few days but they changed it for me. Link to comment
Motorcycle_Mama Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Right. THEY can do it for you. YOU can only do it once. Link to comment
