no because when you set it up , its all directed to your username , like all my bits go to shorthair , so if i could change my name , my bits direction would have to be changed aswell , your username is concrete and dosent change

i've been meaning to do that...but i'm sure if u ask Dan niceley enough he'll recode the system... to add names to our profiles Rolling Eyes

the admin has the ability to change any data in a user's profile.. so if i was you, i'd ask Dan, and he'll probably change it.. good ol' PHPBB

But how much would dan need to change , i would think that alot of things rely on our username , and well if people start chnging there names , it just makes life harder for dan , ..... and your fairly new , jsut make a new account and transfer your bits to the new account , and ask dan t odelete the other one ,

Everything is based on account number, not name, I'm pretty sure its one change in the db....shouldn't be hard at all.

i can chage your user name if that is what you mean, but u whould have to login with the new name not the old one.
