    Is there a way to change your Ubuntu Forums Username?

    Re: Ubuntu Forums Question: Change Username?

    From the Forum FAQ available at the top of the page under "forum help"

    Can I change my username?
    No. Usernames can not be changed - dashes can not be added, lowercase cannot be made uppercase, etc. However, you may choose to create a new account and then request that we disable the original one. The only exceptions to this are extreme cases, such as when a user has been harassed by another user or when the username contains the member's email address or real name.
    Note: If you do make a new account, you will have to transfer all information yourself, as we will not do this for you. Also, we can't transfer your statistics (beans, account age and the like) to the new account.

    if you ask nicely on the resolution center, mathew may take mercy on you.
    Things are rarely just crazy enough to work, but they're frequently just crazy enough to fail hilariously.

    Re: Ubuntu Forums Question: Change Username?

    The best thing to do (as mentioned above) is to post a thread in the Resolution Center - if you have a valid reason (i.e. not "I want this name instead, because I like it more"), then you may get the username changed
