Is there a way to change RFD username? I used this name ages ago but I want to switch it.

Edit: I found another thread about this, they said to create a new account and tell the mods to delete the old one. :/ Is there a way to transfer the feedback to the new account?

Hi Illbashu,

Unfortunately, there is no way of transferring the feedback to your new account. Please PM me if you want to disable your account.

Thanks

How about can you change username and keep join date and post # ?

Not possible.
If you want to change your username, you must make a brand new account (which would mean a new join date and 0 post).

When I used to run a VBulletin forum, an administrator could just go in to your profile (AdminCP) and change the name. Not sure if this feature has been removed in the newer versions, or if RFD doesn't want to go down that road.

This is a matter of policy, not technicality. I guarantee you it can be done.

The issue is that RFD is not just a vBulletin forum. There are many moving pieces that rely on your username staying exactly the way it is. Sorry guys. No username changes.

This is a BST forum, so I guess changing username would make it harder to track.
