I'm pretty sure it was said before the new forums went live that names couldn't be changed - a mod MIGHT be able to change it, but that might also lead to them being flooded with name change requests, so they may say "no", even if it's possible.

Welcome to the forums anyway

Nope, they made it pretty clear before the transition, on more than one occasion, that changing forum handles would not be a supported function on the new boards.


Q. Just wondering Posi, where are the new dance emotes we were told would come with GR?

We were given ample opportunity and time to change names. Bit too late now. We've been expecting a forum change for like... 2 years + now, so when they said "get on it" most of us did. Sorry.

They did? I frequent the boards fairly often and check the announcements, but never saw anything like that...

Was kind of hoping that the new boards would support names less than 5 characters long so I could finally get rid of those extra underscores, but now it looks like I'm stuck with it. Bah.

Some of the devs wish that too, but sadly that's just not an option anywhere that I know of.

I believe the "get your name while you can" was in one of the "we're moving to new forums" announcements - or perhaps, in the discussion after. But they did comment about it a couple times, I know that.

What I'm more curious about though is new accounts. Do they get to pick, or do they get auto-assigned to their global chat handle or (hopefully not) game login?
