Re: change forum user name
Hi twc,
that's probably not the best idea, as exisiting quotes will not be adjusted by the forum software. If you like, you can create a new user account; we'll keep the old one of course. Jerry did this a while ago: formerly he was "jerry", now he's "simpleSolutions.dk".

Hi twc,
Could it be an option for you to register a new account?

Hmm, there's a little problem because quotes of user twc in existing posts will refer to a non existing user .twc wrote:can please some admin here change my user name twc to Fiberdordrecht please

It's no shame to ask for an answer if all efforts failed.
But it's awful to ask without any effort to find the answer yourself.

and there the can change my user name, only my inlog name and pass are still the same.
Re: change forum user name
In phpBB there's only 1 username, which serves as login name too. So it's not possible that the user changes it himself. It is possible to change the username in the admin section, but the problem with existing posts and quotes remains. Consider this thread: I have just quoted what you have written. It says "twc wrote". But if I change your username to "Fiberdordrecht", it will still say "twc wrote". That's probably confusing for newcomers to the forum. See e.g. http://cmsimpleforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=158. A user named "jana75" asked a question. Suddenly the username changed to "leamaus"---IMO quite confusing.twc wrote:and there the can change my user name, only my inlog name and pass are still the same.
So why don't you just stick with "twc". Your well known in the forum under this name, and Fiberdordrecht is prominently displayed as your signature.

But then the problem with the quotes is there too - independent from a different login-name .twc wrote:thats weird because i am on more dutch forums,
