Can I change my username?

[amycishere]

Hello all! I am having trouble changing my username and email address. I am really hoping I can change my username, can anyone help me out? Thank you!

I wish you could but apparently not. I think they suggest you open a new account with a different email address

 

[amycishere]

Well, that sticks but thank you so much for the reply. I am assuming I will lose my status and everything correct? I saw something about linking accounts?

I already created a new account I’m afraid. I appreciate this though. Hellonwheelz84

Hellonwheelz84 it is!

 

[hellonwheelz84]

Thank you! I won’t be able to change my avatar and things like that until I have made a certain number of posts under my new account correct?

Why the name change? Legal trouble?

I just did the same thing! Not that my new username is anything special but my last one was my full name and it bothered me. Now I am starting from scratch.

Did you have to use a different email address to create a new username? And I assume there's no way to merge accounts?

They suggested that I change my email address on my original account to a “dummy” email and then start a new account. Couldn’t merge them. I happened to have a second email address so I just used that for the new account.

I don't have the option to edit my avatar. Anyone know why not?
