Hi.

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but How do You change Your username here?
When I go into Account settings it specifically states that If I enter my password then I can change my username,
amongst other things.
The username box is not editable, at least not for me anyway.

You can't.

No, it says that if you decide to change your username, then you have to provide your password.

Username changing isn't enabled by the site admins. That bit of text is just a generic message that comes with the forum software.

You only got <50 posts, just make a new account?

Thanks for the reply and info.

Maybe I'll just create another account then.

OK, Who do I email or PM about changing my username?

I cannot even create a new Account as it says my email address is in use.
The management of Personal account details here is very user-unfriendly.

There is no forum on planet earth that lets you create multiple accounts with the same email.

I should at least be able to sort this out with an Administrator, but the Forum offers no such information that I can find.

So unless I can get an Administrator to help there isn't a damn thing I can do.

See the admins.

Only the admins can make the changes you request. (The most active of which is Qbix.) Will he bother, IDK. 😀

Nope.
I don't get the fascination of wanting to change the username, especially if you are a new user.
Choose your nick carefully.

A big Thanks to Qbix for sorting this out for me.
