[driverdale1]

Is there anyway to change your user name on the answerbank site without having to start a new account?...thanks in advance

[scorpiojo]

No :(

Whit's wrang wi "driverdale1"? It's nae bad!

At one time the Ed did offer a 'username amnesty', whereby members could ask for a new username without needing a new account. That was a long time ago but it does prove that it is technically possible for those at AB Towers to change members' usernames. So a begging message to the Ed ([email protected]) might possibly work.

rrrrrr!!?? really chris? i wanna change mine to Khaleesi,
you go first though dale as they might start saying no if they get inundated with requests

[Answerprancer]

I think we should start a campaign to give AOG his "R".

Maybe when his anti-immigrant posts reach 666 he could get the golden R award ;-)

[tandh]

what's the R for answer p?

[Answerprancer]

His username is "Anotheoldgit", I think he mis-spelt his own intended name.

[tandh]

rrrrr that's answer, that is funny though

[Answerprancer]

Then again back in 2010 he said:

"Reason for the missing "R" if anyone is that interested.
Maxiumn [sic] letters allowed in a username is twelve".

Ahem, count the letters in MY username :-)))

[Berniecuddles2]

Mine has 13 letters

[NoMercy]

Chris, I added my name to that list and nothing happened.

I have been a member since 2006 and at that time one could only use only a maximum of 12 letters.

But seeing that you joined a considerable time after, you wouldn't have the experience to know that fact, just the same as with all the other facts you try and educate us with.

[Jackdaw33]

Touché.

[Bazile]

it would be interesting to hear from AB towers as to the present position on the past offer of username amnesty .

We were told eons ago that it was on the back burner .
I think it's fallen off , by the looks of things

[Answerprancer]

Calm down Mr G, no need to get all uppitty uppitty!

[anotheoldgit]

During that past 'username amnesty' many requested a change, but not everyone was given the privilege of changing.

[Answerprancer]

Well, Mr G, if I had my way, you would be given the golden "R" and if you're a VERY good boy, the option of capitals for the three words that make up your name :-)

When I am brought into a thread that I have had no previous dealings with, just for the sole reason of ridiculing me, then I have every right to challenge that person, not only for falsely accusing me of misspelling my user-name, but also for the chance of supplying that person with facts that he obviously has no knowledge of.

[Answerprancer]

Will - you - please ...lighten up!
Are you not able to see when someone is gently pulling your leg?
None of what I said was malicious.

And perhaps if you become a more behaved child perhaps we can arrange for a letter T placing between the letters A and N of your name.

Do I need to spell it out for you?
