I put my Nickname as “DarkNiiinja” when I created my account, but now it’s a random generated name. Can’t find a way to change this… Help, please? Thank you! ---

Good morning. I changed your username, but it’s not showing up to me yet. Can you please log out and log back in with the username you chose and same password? That should fix it. ---

Hi, I’m wondering if it’s still possible to change a username? I didn’t know that the auto-generated username would show up publicly and would really appreciate changing it to something simpler. (If only an admin can change it, just substituting “KH” for the first part would be fine.) Thanks! ---

I will Bat Signal our esteemed Moderator but seriously as long as you don’t put your address or phone number in a post no one can find you . Well actually the NSA already knows where you are. @cdaquila ---

Hi, if you log out and log back in, the username KTH is your new one (seems you entered that perhaps, because it showed up in the wrong field in the profile.) if you want something else I can change it again. Feel free to pm me. (Password is the same, whatever you chose.) ---

Hi! I just signed up here and I was attributed a very impersonal nickname. I can’t find the message button when I click on avatars so I use this public topic. Could you please change my nickname for Rhadamenthos ? Thanks! ---

@VOLVO-V70 I like Greek mythology and Rhadamanthus was a wise king on its living and one of the three judges of the deads in the afterlife. I just modified its name a little bit and it became my usual nickname on the internet. 🙂 @cdaquila That would be great, thanks a lot! I’m sorry, I somehow missed the step for the nickname edition and it was too late when I tried. ---
