Can someone tell me how I'd go about changing my account name please.

[GunzOfNavarone]

When I created an account on here a couple of weeks ago, I put my full name instead of a nickname, not realising it would act as my username, and it looks a bit daft.

Can I request a name change please ?

I've tried messaging admin but it says I don't have the privileges to do so, so thought I'd ask here.

Thanks !

Hello Gavin,

You should try PMing a supervisor, as well as perhaps trying to PM the other admin of the site.
You can see a full list of the supervising and administrating staff from this list: http://gbatemp.net/staff/

Hope this helps and good luck getting your name changed!

Hmm, well I have heard of recent renovations to newcomers' accounts that do not let you have access to the PM feature until you have a certain number of posts. (10, I think? Maybe more.)

Try leaving a message on their profile if all else fails. Alternatively, they will take a look at this thread and PM you themselves.

I was wondering whether it was something like this. - Thanks for clearing that up.

What nick would you like?

 

[GunzOfNavarone]

What nick would you like?

GunzOfNavarone if it's available. If not GunsOfNavarone or you can add 22 to the end of either.

Thanks !

You wear that medal of honor with pride. You make Captian america look like a scrub. You don't even need a shield, you don't even work for shield, but you might as well start with that reputation. Ahh marvel jokes.

You gonna be all like "TEMPERS ASSEMBLE!"

Oh gosh, is it really possible to change old usernames?
I made this account long ago with this username, but I really find it demeaning now that I've grown up.
Is there any possible way change my username?

Yes, typically by PM'ing a moderator. In this case OP is a new member and there's new PM restrictions apparently. Changed mine a few months back that way.

EDIT: Of course, there's a mod right in this thread, so a mod should be easy to find....

Sure, go ahead and request one.

We can only do name-changes for people with a small number of posts, before everyone starts going crazy.
