Title: How do I change my username?
Post by: HooknoseHunter on March 29, 2021, 07:31:19 PM
Hello, I looked around the main page but I couldn’t find a “contact us” link so I decided to post here. I made my username around 6 years ago and have only made a half dozen posts.  I’d like to change it. Is this possible? Thanks in advance and God Bless.

Id like to change mine too. My Ipad autocorrected mine and I didn’t catch it. It was supposed to be Bareback as in rodeo.

I'm pretty sure if you hit up one of the mods they can help you out.

 I know it’s a lot of work and a job they don’t like doing. I’ve seen it happen but it’s rare they allow it.  :twocents:

If the admins have write/update access to the database... it's likely very possible to do; but I wouldn't get my hopes up LOL

And admins: if you do have access but you ain't savvy with database query stuff PM me and I can help you out.

:yeah: I’ve only seen it done once since I’ve been a mod. It’s definitely not the norm or something that happens often by any means.

It’s about 100x simpler than that. It takes about 90 seconds to do.

The reason we don’t like changing usernames doesn’t have anything to do with the complexity of actually doing it.

Did you get a nose job since you signed up?

I'm not ok with calling out people whose had their user name changed, each one is case by case basis with individual merit for consideration

Private forum. @bearpaw has been mentioned. I’m sure he is busy booking hunts with results just coming out. He will see this thread soon enough and get to those that are requesting the change. He can make the call based on your individual situation not based on why this member was able to change theirs or not.  You guys have had these screen names for awhile give him a little time to respond.

We have changed a few names on a case by case basis. We don't encourage it as pretty soon nobody will know who is who, it could become time consuming changing names, and we don't want that to be the new cool thing to do. I'll discuss some guidelines further with the mods and get back to this topic. In the past a few reasons we would change names was for real names, some members decide they want to be anonymous, others want people to know who they are, I'm fine with a change for either of those purposes. If a name gives away a member's hunting spot, I'm fine with changing their username. Another reason has been if there is a typo when signing up, I have changed a couple usernames for that reason.

Generally we discourage changes!

Just saw you deleted my post, I wasn’t calling anyone out… it isn’t a big deal  :dunno:
I remembered said guy changed his name a few years back figured he may be able to shed some light for these guys that’s all

At the top of your screen there should be tabs for Home, Help, Search, Media..... to the right there should be one that says "members"  if you click on that you can search for members or see the member list.

I don't see that there is a hunter365.
