+Delta68 Posted July 14, 2023 Posted July 14, 2023 On a number of occasions, I have attempted to change a username and been told it's not available despite there not being an existing user by that name. Why would that be? Thanks Quote

+Smitherington Posted July 14, 2023 Posted July 14, 2023 One wonders at times the reason why someone would want to change their username. In this case there is an appropriate reason based on my research on Google. “Uppercase delta (Δ) at most times means “change” or “the change” in maths.” Quote

+Mockingbird559 Posted July 14, 2023 Posted July 14, 2023 What about using CamelCase like this...ThisIsMyNewUserName ? that usually works out pretty well 2 Quote
