How do I change my name?

Question

Could someone please tell me how I can change my name? I want it changed to Johanna.

Answer 1

Click on your name and it will take you to your profile. About half way down on your left you'll see "change my profile." You can type in a new name there.

Your reputation points, badges, etc. will stay the same.

Actually, I think this possibility has been canceled. We had like a hundred John's on this forum and we had to change that as PM function did not work.

Fortunately I am quite unique

Go to your profile page (click on your name below your avatar) and choose "Edit my account" There is a box for entering a new user name.

You can also get to your profile at any time from the link at the very top of whatever page you're on, on the right hand side, you'll see 'Hola' and then your name. If you don't want to leave the page you're on, hold down the shift key should open it in a new window

Answer 7

Do I need to confirm it in my email? If so I won't bother. :(

No need to confirm. Just use the "change" button next to your username (on your profile page). - --Mariana--, Sep 10, 2009
