Requesting a Name Change

To request a name change, follow these steps:

1. At the top of the forum, click the Preferences button.
2. In the Board Settings menu, select Change Username.
3. Type your desired username in the New Username box, and click Change Username. Your name change request will have to be approved by an administrator, so the changes may not be applied immediately.

Upon submitting your request, you will be returned to the Preferences page.
Viewing and Cancelling Pending Name Change Requests
After requesting a name change, you may later decide that you don't want to make the change, or you would like a username different than the one you previously requested. If an administrator has not already approved or denied your request, you can cancel a pending name change request by following these steps:

1. At the top of the forum, click the Preferences button.
2. In the Board Settings menu, select Change Username.
3. If you have any pending name change requests, they will appear above the Change Username form.
4. To cancel a pending name change request, click the link above the Change Username form. Alternatively, you can fill out and submit the form to select a different name change.

Upon cancelling your request, you will be returned to the Preferences page.

Remember it is at the discretion of the Mods and Admin whether or not your name change takes place or not. At the moment all users are allowed up to 5 name changes.

Changing your Email Address

At some point you may want to change the email address you registered your account with due to security reasons or simply because you have a new address. To do so, follow these steps.

1. At the top of the forum, click the Preferences button.
2. In the Board Settings table, select Change Email Address.
3. Fill out the form with your new email address, taking care to type it correctly. You will also have to fill in your current password. This is a security measure put in place to prevent misuse of your account by another individual.

Once you've correctly filled in your information, click the Change Address button. If the change was successful, you will be returned to the Preferences page and a notice will inform you that your email address has been changed.
