Change Forum Username

I dont know how I ended up with a username that advertises both my name and city of residence (I would never choose such a name if I knew it would be posted publicly), but for privacy reasons I'd like to set my forum username to something that isn't so personal. Searching the forums has led me to believe that there is no way for users to do this, but that mods might be able to assist me. How can I contact a moderator to request a change of username?

FWIW, you were not "assigned" the UserName - you were "Offered" it as a suggestion when the one you first entered as the one you desired was already taken - you forget that this is not our first rodeo 😉


Stuff like this happens when you get in a hurry and fail to pay close attention

Precisely. The reason is, I am thecodercody on every website I can think of. I spent 24 hours straight one time registering that name all over the internet so that it's just me always. I love it. No numbers, easy to spell, descriptive still. Ahhhh. I made thecodingcody before I realized it wasn't available on twitter or facebook or something. Now it's me everywhere. 👍 I think it's good to avoid confusion if somebody accidentally registered that name without realizing I had a monstrous amount of claims to that name.


Thanks again! 😁

You cannot change your own user name, it requires a forum host to do it. There is already someone with the username Tys0n. Open your profile and replace nkgkpsg in the URL with alternate names you might like to use. Use + instead of a space if needed. If the username already exists you'll see the profile, otherwise you get something like this:
