I was wondering how to change my username. I had a look in the account options, nothing. Please help!

**CavySpirit** · #2 08-04-06, 03:36 pm

We have to do that for you. What do you want to change it to?

**Pigs4All** · #3 08-04-06, 03:45 pm

I would like it changed to Pigs4All. Thanks.

**Ly&Pigs** · #4 08-04-06, 11:19 pm

Your name has been changed.

**Pigs4All** · #5 08-05-06, 06:15 am

Thanks all.

That is awesome that you can change it! So in the future if i do not still like this i can too?

We prefer you change it sooner then later. Once you are estabilshed and people know you around here a name change can be confusing.

If it is not too much trouble, I would like to change my log-in name too. I didn't realize it was going to be used as my permanent name on the site so I used my full name instead. Not safe. Would like to change it to Kimik if possible.
Thanks.

Name change is done.

[FONT=Century Gothic]I requested a name change a while ago, but now I can't find which thread it was on...and since I also have a problem not getting all of the email notifications, I don't know if you ever answered, Ly.

Can I re-request it now, please? I'd like my username to be: SoCalCavies.

Also, not getting notifications has been really hard. I must be doing something wrong. Do you only get notifications if you START a thread? I would like to get them when someone responds to one that I have also responded to. Is that possible?

I'm sorry - I know you're busy.[/FONT]

**Ly&Pigs** · #11 01-18-07, 10:43 pm

I will change it tomorrow. I will email you when it's done.

For subscriptions, go into your profile and see what option you have for receiving notifications. It's under "My Profile>Edit Options".

Cool. I'm thinking of changing mine.

**Ly&Pigs** · #13 01-20-07, 05:35 pm

Ellen you've been around too long. Usually we only change newbies names.

Macayle · #14 02-07-07, 12:43 am

Could I please change mine? I am kinda new here since recently being unbanned and no one knows me so it wont really make a differance.
If possible I would like it changed to my real name. Nicole.

**Ly&Pigs** · #15 02-07-07, 02:36 pm

I will have to speak to the other mods about it. Not everyone on the forum are newbies. There are still some oldies around too. You've been a member since Nov 05 and have over 300 posts so it's doubtful you will get it changed.

**PookiesPiggies** · #16 02-09-07, 09:59 pm

Ly, since I'm still new can I have my name changed from Pookiespiggy to Pookiespiggies? I will be adopting a new Guinea Pig when a sow becomes available in my area. I don't know when that will be cause I'm a patient person and don't mind waiting for the right buddy for my girl to become available. I don't want to be a member too long and not be able to have the chance to change then, also. I'm in no hurry so when you find the time.
Thank You

**Ly&Pigs** · #17 02-09-07, 11:23 pm

Pookies-Since you are still a newbie and you aren't changing your name completely, I will do it.

Macayle- the mods discussed it and you will not be receiving a name change as you've been a member for too long with over 300 posts. Sorry.

Macayle · #18 02-10-07, 01:39 am

Ah thats OK, I understand. Thanks anyway though.

**guineapigfan9000** · #19 03-08-07, 01:20 am

Um... I made a typo when I typed in my username.
It's meant to be guineapigfan9000, not 900.
That is my username for other sites as well. Could it be changed?
Thanks!

**VoodooJoint** · #20 03-08-07, 09:19 am

I'm changing it now.
