Title: forum registration
Post by: Slacka on May 05, 2013, 04:16 am
Is it possible to change my forum name to same one I use on sr?
When I attempted to do login with this name, an error message indicated that the username already existed.
I then successfully logged in using my sr name, but  it only showed my original forum name (not my sr name).

Is there a way I can remove my forum name, and have it replaced with my sr name (and still keep my post credits)?

Thanks for your assistance.

Hi Slacka,

I'm not entirely sure but I'll ask one of the other mods and see if it's possible, and get back to you here.

If the name you wanted is already taken, there isn't much you can do in that situation.  Can you let me know the name?  I'll look it up and see if the username is actually active or not. 

You wouldn't be able to keep your post count, though.

For anyone else wondering - generally, the recommended course of action would be to create a new account with the desired username.
