Title change?? How??

[Flyinglizard]

I have no idea how to change my stage name. My Son registered for this board a long time ago.
I would like to swap the "Flyinglizard" to "Protech Racing"
Any idea how to get it done??
TIA, MM

+1 to that - would like to bring this ID in line with those on other boards...

You pretty much can't. It requires someone with the keys to the castle (super admin powers) to make the change. You could go through the gyrations to create a new account but none of your history of posts would stick to you.

Bettencourt did it years ago, and he lost his post count and other things.
I'd suggest making your signature bigger, more distinct, include a small picture, etc, and possibly modifying your user title to match somewhat.

Yeah, it's weird; you can go in and edit the crap out of someone's profile, but you can't save anything.

I've wanted to change my user name for years.

You have to be super Mod or Admin, but you can change usernames. been doing it for years on other vBulletin forums...

I'm a super Mod (I think)...tell me how to do it.

Tried to register, but it kicked out @ the email.

You may need to be an Admin to perform this function

If you can get to the Admin Control Panel

On the left side of the panel, there should be a Menu

Scroll down to Users
Click to expand
Click on Search for Users
Enter {old name} in the User Name field
Click on Find

This should return the complete User Profile

Replace {old name} with {new name} in the User Name field
Scroll to bottom of the panel and click Save

Done

Thanks, Terry. Yep, I think I can do it, looks like I have access. PM me the requested change. - GA

[Greg Amy]

Disregard. Tried to change one, no "save" button...gotta be an admin, I guess. - GA
