AI Thread Summary
Changing a username on the forum is possible but requires manual intervention from the moderators. Users express a desire for a feature that allows self-service username changes for standardization across platforms. Concerns are raised about potential abuse of such a feature, suggesting that moderation is necessary. One user humorously notes the risks involved in manual changes, indicating that moderators have the final say in the process. Overall, while username changes can be accommodated, they are not readily available as a standard feature.

Question as per title.

I apologize if I posted in the wrong section but this seems to be the most appropriate sub-forum to ask this question.

Not that I don't love physics, but I made this account ages ago, and I'm wanting to standardize my user-name across all the forums I visit.

PM with the name you'd like it changed to

Is it that easy to change username? Then why not make it available as one of the forum's features?

My guess would be because they don't want men of change abusing the privilege :redface:

I have to do it manually, so if I'm in a bad mood, sometimes my hand slips and I click the ban button. :biggrin:
