User Name

I was just wandering if I am able to edit my username? All I want to do is capitalize my name, not change the name at all.

Thanks

Afraid not....If you contact the mods and ask them, a lot of times they will permit you to make a new account with a new name and then they will ban the old account....

That's about all you can do.

Agreed

We've no way of editing usernames.

Ok thanks for the replies.

Guess you can close this thread then.

I have the same problem. The thing is, in a Linux environment, the username IS the account. Everything is tied to it and capital letters makes it a different account name. Although you don't see it in raw format, every user has a sub-directory on the filesystem. You can compare it to "MyDocuments" on a Windows system, though the analogy is a bit off. If you were to create a new username, then everything associated with your old account, from posts to points to stars, would be lost. It's technically possible for a sysadmin to transfer stuff over, but this is labor intensive, so I understand why ATS has a policy not to do it. With as many users as they have they absolkutely must be as efficient as possible.
