Is it possible to change your user name in the User Control Panel? I couldn’t find a way to do that. (I guess I should have given more thought to this when I filled out the membership form…)

On a “vanilla” installation of PhpBB3, the ability to change user names is an option the Administrator can activate. But with the way AJ’s set up the system to use the actual user name (Instead of the id number the board program itself uses) in some of the pages outside the message board, that may not be possible because it would break the codes.

AJ’s the only one who knows the answer to that question.

I can change usernames without any problems.

Just let me know what you would like it to be.

Similarly.. if anyone else is reading this and wants to change their username.. just let me know.
