Name change

feral five · Post by **feral five** » 03 September 08 10:04 am

after finally discovering that groundspeak have enabled name changes, i was able to ridmyself of my email monicker and get a name more suitable to our family caching activites

sspack is now know as "feral five"

when i started caching i couldnt think of a name, so i just used an email address assuming i could change it later. 2 years later....

now, if only i could change my name for these forums !!

How do you do this? I've been wanting to change my name for quite some time too!

Cheers

My name here is wombles but on GC someone else has used that name so I am womblywoo there. I wish I could change it to wombles there but can't work out how to change it at all?

if that name has been used, you cant have it.

Should have explained myself a bit better, this person has been a member since 2003 and hasn't found or hid any caches, so while he/she is using that name they aren't really!

We had a similar problem to Wombles - registered on GCA first only to find the name taken on the GC site by a person who was not actively caching. We registered on GC as Just a Trifle (the current name of our trimaran).

I too have a username that was picked in "anger" when I first wanted to just check out geocaching.

Now that I'm hooked...

How do I change my username on GC ( assuming available )
how do I change my username on GCA ( assuming available )

Cheers.

At GCA, send an admin a PM to change your forum name.
For your caching name, that's self service via http://geocaching.com.au/my/settings/

God, I feel like the newbie who can't work anything out for themselves!

Well actually I can't work something out!

How do I tell my GCA profile page that my GC name is now Hoojar?

Sigh...
