Question
 
Is it OK to change your username if you let people know through the forum and cafe (and include your old one in parentheses)?
I �m asking because I was thinking of changing mine to match the one I have on another website, just in case I also upload something there and somebody thinks it �s stolen.

Thanks in advance for your answersSmile

Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Thank you very much, dear colleaguesSmile

I was just afraid I might be accused of causing confusion, that �s why I �ve asked.

Have a great day!

Edit: LOL, Blunderbuster!

Edit 2: Oh, well, I�ve just tried to change my username through the "Edit my account" option, and there is the note "you can�t change this" next to my username...So, no point in asking in the first placeUnhappy.
So, I�m stating this here, just in case: If you ever see a ws of mine uploaded here also uploaded here by hope82 (supposing I actually do upload something there), please do not think it�s stolen. hope82 is me.

Cheers!

Hello magneto AKA hope82  Wink
 
Thanks for informing us.  Don �t you also want to add it to your ESL page, just to be on the safe side?  Maybe mention it as a description that you also upload somewhere else as hope82.  It �s just an idea.
 
Enjoy your week.
 
Hugs

as long as you don �t change your avatar which I have grown to love...

I also changed my username in the past to solve a problem with my PM. I kept the same avatar so people would still know it is me....
I also love your avatar by the way! It is probably a good idea to keep the same avatar at least for a while so people can get used to the new name...

I �ve changed my name once (initially it was �kkcat � only ) but i thought it was too impersonal, so I added �Kate � to my username :)

No, I �m afraid you can �t do that now. When you try to change your username, you get "can �t be changed".
A big hug,
Chus.

Thank you all for your replies, dear colleagues!

Not planning on changing my avatar Elderberrywine and Marion GWink

I think I �ll just take Joey �s advice and add that username to my profile information.

Thanks again!

Nighty-night everyone!
