Changing user name Forum/Profile

[sams88]

Hi,

I would like to change my account users name, I didn't see anything on the subject in the wiki. I am not happy with my current account name.

Any help ?

From the Wiki, you didn't seem to look very hard:

Users can request their tracker account renamed in our support channel #bakabt-support only once. You are required to state a valid reason for your request, otherwise it will be rejected. Using your real name in your nick is a valid reason; getting tired of your old name is not.

Forum usernames are not renamed.

Note that if your tracker account is renamed, members might have trouble identifying you later (different tracker account name & forum username).

Also the users cannot request existing account names so please check availability before asking.

Thanks, seems kind of meaningless if I can't change my forum account too.

I searched the Wiki and when to page that described the different aspect of the user interface to see if there was an option. But it didn't cross me to see the FAQ.

You have one other option, which is not to log in for 11 months so that your account is pruned, and make a new one with another nick.
...although I suppose that's a bit too long to wait.

Not only that but wouldn't my IP be blacklisted so I can't use my computer for another 11 months

Mind sharing where you got that idea from?
