Hey,

Is it possible for you to change my username? If you can, could you change it to "AlexC" please?

Regards,

Sorry.

From the FAQ (http://ubuntuforums.org/announcement.php?f=48):
Can I change my username?
No. Usernames can not be changed at all - dashes can not be added, lowercase cannot be made uppercase, etc. However, you may choose to create a new account.

Note: If you do make a new account, you will have to transfer all information yourself, as we cannot do this for you. Also, we cannot transfer your statistics (beans, account age and the like) to the new account.
There have been some extremely rare instances where we have chosen to help someone who was being harassed by changing their username, but this isn't something we do on a normal basis.

How come others get to have their username changed, but not mine? Such as one from 2 weeks ago:

His username got changed, so have many others (search this forum for "username change") It shows many threads, some recent (2 weeks ago) that show the user's username getting changed. Yet mine can not? :confused:

Send me a private message with a really good reason and I will gladly consider it. Just removing a _ is a pretty trivial change, though, and the people you refer to had some substantial reasons for asking.
