Changing username?

(Formerly the "Support, Feedback and Forum Announcements" forum.)
Please help us make Online Book Club even better! Please post suggestions, feedback and ideas for new features. Wild brainstorming and potentially 'crazy ideas' are super-strongly encouraged! :)

For new members (or old members who run into an issue), please make a post in this forum asking any questions you have about using the site and how it works that are not answered in the FAQ. Not only are we happy help you, but also we can use your feedback to make the site better for tomorrow's new member! A lot of the instructions throughout the site and answers in the FAQ are there because someone else pointed out that it wasn't clear before.

Changing username?

Post by Danielle_Erinn » 16 Sep 2019, 23:22

Hey guys does anyone know if we can change usernames? I created my account forever ago but I want to take reviews seriously and would like to change my username to something more like a real name without creating a new account. Any advise?

Only Admins can change usernames. No need (nor is it allowed) to open a new account. Just tell us the new name and I will change it for you.
