Hi guys,
I need to change my name. I can't use Canwell Knives anymore. Can anyone tell me how I go about changing my name on this forum?
I have e-mailed CKD about it but they have not responded.

Thanks,

Bear

just log out, and register with a new name.

After you register under the new name, et me know and I'll remove the old one.

I've been considering changing my user ID to my name (Jamey Saunders), but I don't want to lose my post count and history. Is there any way to do that? If not, I'll just keep my current ID.

Nope, when you change your ID, the count for the new ID starts at zero.

We all went through this when we switched over from the previous forums at EzBoard. I had over 1500 posts on that one. And we had another forum before that one ( Dang, I've been around here a long time ).

But post count doesn't have anything to do with the value of the "poster" anyway.

Isn't their a friendly admin who can log into the admin section and just overtype a new name on the existing account? There's a link in each members profile that'll take you straight there. ;)

There's a good reason for maintaining the existing account. I often click on the search button in my own posts when I'm looking for some thread or other that is of some renewed interest to me.

Though I do think that if your post count is under 50 or so, there would be little lost by re-registering and would save the admins a headache.

Guess I'll just keep what I've got. Most people around here know me by my current ID anyway...

Alex can easily do this, but he is, I think, away at the SHOT Show in Las Vegas this weekend. Sit tight.

Hi Coop, I notice that Terry, KnifeWife and a couple others are "super moderators", they *may* be able to do it too. :)

Nope. If we could, I'd already have done it.

There are "some" things our great and powerful Wizard (Alex) :) doesn't let us do.

What username would you prefer?

I'd prefer to just use my name, Jamey Saunders. If this is going to be too much trouble, don't worry about it. If it's not too much trouble, what do I need to do to help it happen?

Jamey,

I fixed your account. Don't forget to use your new username to log in.

Thanks, Alex! I've been wondering about this for a couple of weeks, but didn't want to ask. I appreciate it.
