How do I change my name on the forums?

I apologise for making a thread over such a stupid issue, but it's the little things like this that really get to me.

I've went ahead and managed to call myself "WHittall", rather than "Whittall" and it's bugging me. Is it possible for me to change it?

 

one of the devs probably could but I don't think you can change it

 

Ah cheers for the reply man. I'll try get in touch with one. It's a bit pathetic but it's just one of those things!

 

Dang, Gabe is always willing to help.

(And for some reason Chrome is telling me that "Gabe" isn't a word. Last time I checked, Gabe was a pretty common name.)

 

Hey Gabe can I change my avatar? Because I found this and I love it.

 

Take a look at the username?

 

Personally I like it when people have off-colour usernames and such, my little picture over there is a joke about marijuana and some may not think that its suitable for minors to come across. Now the trick is to be vaguely subtle about it, find something that you need to already be mature to understand. A child is likely unaware that THC is the abbreviation for the chemical name d-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, hence all they'll really see is just a green KFC logo. Me and fellow pot heads find this image kind of amusing, hehe. KFC is almost THC and all that. So I can have my joke, and immature people aren't likely to pick up on it without getting some educating on the subject beforehand.

This forum is full of people who really aren't mature enough for "FUCK YOU" printed in bright red all caps in the same way I probably won't get away with an image of a weed leaf or a joint. Its also not particularly clever. Not that I care personally, but as tdev pointed out there are people who may get offended. Remember that we're trying to have a community here, so you may like it, but its too brash. Just calm down, you know, bounds of reason and all that. Be considerate, and if all you do it make sure that the only way for someone to "get it" is that they're mature, have at it hoss.

 

Hey there!

I want to join the chat, but my Username contains illegal characters :/
Can someone please fix that or change my name to Ruediger3000?

Thank you in advance!

// EDIT: This was fast! Thank you ver much!

 

So how do you change it cos i want to change mine

 

You can't, a dev changes it. Just pm a dev and tell them the username that you want.
