Changing Name
« on: January 12, 2007, 10:10:29 AM »
Does anybody know if it's possible to change your log-in name? As some of my (off-line) friends know that I visit the e-hell discussion board, I want to change my name to one that isn't clearly linked to my real name. (I've sometimes held off on posting out of fear that a friend might recognize him or herself in my posting and be displeased at what they read.)

I can't find a way to change my name on my current account. I finally decided to just start a new account, with a different name, but I'm being blocked from doing so because my e-mail address is already linked to Andi3000.

I would appreciate any help and suggestions.

Thanks!

Andi3000,

Ehelldame

You have two choices that I can see.

In your profile, under NAME:, you can change the name people see on your posts.  If that doesn't work, I can change your Username from the admin area but it will require a new password which the forum software will apparently send to you so you can reactivate the new Username.  I haven't done this before so if something messes up, you may have to get a new hotmail email address and start over.

PM me with what you want to do.

Fantastic--it looks like the name change worked. Thank you, Ehelldame!
