Hello,
I was just wondering if it is possible to change our user names?
Or is that a potential future update?
If not that’s ok though. Thanks!
It’s not possible, I’m afraid. A new user can change it for the first day or so, but after that it’s locked.
There are several reasons for it. One is to prevent @mentions and links breaking, another is to keep the continuity of recognisable names and faces, and another is to prevent people from changing names and pretending to be someone else.
I hope that makes sense. I know it’s frustrating, but if you really want to change your username you’ll need to reregister with a different email address.
