Is there a username change possible?

Hello.

I've got this profile for long. I created this, because gtklocker (which is my universal username) wasn't available.

After some thoughts, I remember I've created this account (the gtklocker one), but I had forgotten the password and given a wrong email address.

Can someone delete the other account and change my username to "gtklocker", as it ought to have been?

Thanks in advance.

hmm

Why not leave this one die and request the password of your old nick to be reset?

Far easier.

Yes. Small minus for you. Having this policy is big plus for forum admins.

150 posts is not the end of the world wink.

Normally any admin/mod can reset the password. However, if gtklocker is the account you registered, I don't see any possibility to change passwords, while on your present account, there is:

Did you ever activate it? If memory serves me right your account needs activating?

Send Misfit138 an e-mail. He should be able to give you a conclusive answer.
