AciesGecko Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 @Alma_16; As general rule, we don't *do* name changes. :armscrossed: (See any one of the dozens of other threads on this subject scattered in this forum over the past 10+ years or, you know... the post three before yours in this one.) Yes, I know, I was just saying my opinion in the matter, not making a request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thandal Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Yes, I know, I was just saying my opinion in the matter, not making a request. Ahhh... So I should have read that as, "I, too, wish I could change my username..." Got it. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cepedamarc Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 So whom would I contact for "special circumstance" reasons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thandal Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 @cepedamarc; You would submit a Support Ticket using the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of the page. But someone with only four posts (including this one) since joining a year ago, and no mods to their name, is unlikely to be able to justify an exception. If you would like a new username simply request that your current account be Closed and then re-register with a new one. Your "Supporter" status can be transferred to that account afterwards.

Avoozuul Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 (edited) I didn't realize that username changes would be such a hard thing to do. I know you have to make a new account to get the username which you want but that also means losing your original join date.

Saitaran Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 have you had a look into implementing the display name as I.P. Boards allows plugin support I'm sure there is a plugin that allows you to changed a display field inside of the forums and then all you have to do is call that object of the field with the display name for the forum to show the name in that field and then all the backend referencing can use the username registered. sg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xRyudo Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 (edited) Out of curiosity, I've been wanting the name 'Ryudo' instead of this one with an x in front of it. I did a search in current registered members, and 'Ryudo' does not show up for me. But when I try to register the name, it states the name is already in use, despite not showing up in Registered Members? I know you don't do name changes, so I was willing to go with the 'make a new account' route, but it seems pointless if the name is already taken for real. Could an Admin/Mod look into this? Maybe I lack the access to search for members or something, idk. Edited November 16, 2016 by xRyudo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSalami Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Could an Admin/Mod look into this? Unfortunately, "Ryudo" is indeed already taken: https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/user/61700-ryudo/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xRyudo Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 (edited) Ayy. That's a shame. :sad:Oh well, this will have to do then. Thanks for looking into it at least! Edited November 16, 2016 by xRyudo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
