    Username question

    I want to change my user name back to Incandenza, but when I go to the "my details" screen, I'm not able to edit my username--I can change my real name, my email, and my password, but my username cannot be edited.

    I obviously was able to change it before from Incandenza to Inchashallah--is there a finite number of times we can change our usernames? I'd really rather not be stuck with this one, but I'd also rather not have to register again. If there is a finite number of username edits that we have, am I the only one that didn't know about it?

    You'd think that Toro would have been hamstrung long ago if that were the case. You're in the "edit my details" screen, right?

    Maybe try a different browser. Or re-log in.

      Tried all of that. And Yep, it's the correct screen, because I can change my password and my email. Those are listed in text boxes to be edited, but my username just appears on the screen without any editing options.

        Huh.

        Then I think you'll just have to comfort yourself with being worshipped as God of The Incas from now on.

          Do you see both Save and Reset buttons below it all?
          Tried 'em both, I guess, eh?

            I think you're looking at the wrong page. You're looking at the page you get if you click on "Your details" over on the left. What you should do is click on "My Profile" up above here, and navigate from there.

                Mind you, why the two pages are different is a mystery to any right-thinking citizen.

                  Ahem, yes that was it.

                  Now, why can't we delete threads anymore?

                    That's great--thanks mucho, Andy C. I had been thinking about changing my username seasonally but thought I was in the same boat as Inca.

                      Should have kept my big nose out of this, shouldn't I? I'm in a perpetual state of changed-username-related flummoxedness.

                        But then, I'm very old and very easily confused.

                              Just relax. PM me your credit info and PIN numbers and I'll sort it out for you.

                                No comfort, I know, but I had the exact same issue when trying to change my username.

                                  Yeah, but you're a newbie.

                                  Inca, however, already has his '3000 post' badge.

                                  And he's changed his name a few times already.

                                  Plus, he designed and programmed the board.

                                  He's even the author of Changing Your Username for Dummies (TM).

                                  You can see why he's a bit red in the face.

                                    I'm still the #7 most active poster, even after having a kid and finding a full-time job. Bruno is gaining, however.

                                      He could be unemployed and sterile. They don't cover things like that in the Profile section.

                                        Surely with that name, he's a bit white in the face.

                                        I'll take me coat.

                                          Now, why the hell can't I have a hyphen in my username. I feel emasculated without a hyphen.
