Standard User 2,127 February 23, 2014 Share February 23, 2014 Click on your username on the bar at the top of the site. Click on "My Settings," then click "Display Name" from the list of options on the left side. You can change your name up to three time in 30 days. oOo RIP Forums Writing Centre ;_; oOo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmonic Revelations 8,835 February 23, 2014 Share February 23, 2014 You can change your display name, but not your login. I would not recommend using the same login and display name anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Clarity 3,094 February 23, 2014 Solution Share February 23, 2014 You can access this page through the big black "Edit your profile" button on your profile page. Unfortunately, however, you cannot change your log-in username – it remains the username you first used when registering on this site. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bright Knowledge 10 February 23, 2014 Author Share February 23, 2014 Okay, I understand. Then would it be possible to delete my account so I could have a second chance and to start over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavelColt 22,881 February 23, 2014 Share February 23, 2014 Okay, I understand. Then would it be possible to delete my account so I could have a second chance and to start over? Unfortunately no. Accounts cannot be deleted by members, and the administration does not remove accounts by request or in practice in general. If you have any issues at all with your display name or account name, an administrator can manually change either appropriately, if needed 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bright Knowledge 10 February 23, 2014 Author Share February 23, 2014 Which would be the better option at this point? 1. ask an admin nicely to change the I into a Y in the first part of my username 2. to make a new account with the preferred spelling of my username Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCS 7,537 February 23, 2014 Share February 23, 2014 (edited) Which would be the better option at this point? 1. ask an admin nicely to change the I into a Y in the first part of my username 2. to make a new account with the preferred spelling of my username You should ask an admin to change your username if you are not able to change it yourself. However, you should be able to change it yourself following the instructions in Akemi Homura's post. Making alternate accounts is generally against the rules, as outlined in this FAQ article.
