Changing My Screen Name

It's an admin issue, not a mod one. Use the "Contact Us" link mentioned already. edit: or you can pm David Wilson, john turner, or Chris Fitzgerald directly...but the "Contact Us" link works.

But...name changes aren't typically granted, unless you want to change to something more like your real name. Just FYI.
 
I put in a request two months ago to change mine, and was told the following:

[FONT=Candara, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica]Hello,

Because username changes require a brief shutting down of the forum, we only allow them under the following circumstances:

1) Where a user changes from their real name to a screen name for security reasons;

2) Where a user changes from a screen name to their real name so they can better become part of the community and stand behind their posts.

Changing from one alias to another is not currently allowed. You would have to reregister with new id, and then let us know and we'll close out the old account.

Best,
