OK, I think I already know the answer but, to change your name you fill in the New Username and hit change name right? Asking to avoid a error.

I assume you know where the Change Username thing is judging by this post, yeah?

If you're there, you fill in your desired username and then hit "Change Name". Simple as that.

Of course, you'll have to wait for a mod to approve it once it's been submitted. But as soon as they do you'll be good to go.

OK, wanted to ask in case we had to ask a mod first, but guess not. Thanks.

We Admins see it in the ACP for approval. We'll usually approve everyone unless, on the rare occasion, someone requests an offensive or inappropriate name.

Why do we even have the name change ability/function so open and available anyway? I mean I find it gets terribly confusing to keep up with people when they constantly change their names to have "monthly name change games". Can't we only change them so many times or something or have it cost so many posts/rings to do it?

I object to your claims
Actually, it's pretty easy to keep up with name changes; you can check people's profiles for all the names they've had in the past.


Sometimes, you don't even need that; I've hardly ever been confused by a name change. I can tell who someone is through several means.

Yeah but I am not someone who flicks through people's profiles or monitors what their signature/avatar/Wii Friend Code or 360/PS3 tag is. So for someone who is trying to converse in the shack and suddenly an influx of new names pop up I just go "Bwah?" and forget who everyone is. XD

^ I agree completely. Some of the names, I have no problem figuring out who they are behind the new name. But some people I just have no earthly idea. Some people I only figure out by noticing what other people call them. Then other times I'm about to reply to someone specifically like in the Shack or something, and then I pause and think "Wait, is this really who this is or am I getting the two mixed up again?" then I have to click on the person's profile, go to name history, then assure myself that it's actually them then go back to where I was and rewrite the post. I have to do this until I get their identity memorized. It's sort of a hassle but I suppose there are other means to make it easier on me/someone also having to do this.

Eh, I just thought I'd put my input in I don't think it needs to be changed or altered or anything...

I find with members with lesser post count, it's harder to guess who you are... (Especially you gray members, there's so many of you guys name switching all the time... XP)
i'm actually really sorry bout this

I mean, at least put in brackets what your name was... Like I do.

^ Now see that is sensible I don't mind that at all people can change their names all they want. Like either have their old name featured (like they did with the Christmas themed names) or like you said put original name in brackets.

I generally use Name History as my friend in these cases XD
But yeah, I find the simple solution to be just not changing names. Works, no?
