    Default Title change?? How??

    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

    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 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

    Extra credit: Send email to requester telling where to logon

    HTH
