Posted: 2/20/01 15:11 Can I change my User Name?
Once an account has been created, it is not possible to change your user name. If you want to use a different user name, you will need to create a new account. You can create a new ezboard account by clicking here.
Note that if you do not like the formatting of your name (spaces and capitals) you will not be able to make a new name that is spelled the same as the old name but has different formatting. This means if you registered johndoe, you will not be able to create John Doe, the name has been taken. (by you)

Now that you can delete a username, if you don't like the formatting you can delete the account and remake it with the formatting you desire. Be aware though that you will lose your post count, custom titles at boards, profile customization, etc. It will be a brand new account. So if you have been using your account for a while you may not want to start back at zero, but if you just made the account and messed up the formatting, this is a good option for you. When you remake the name, be sure to format it exactly as you want it to appear.
If you have ezSupporter you can link up to four more names to the supporter account and all would share supporter. You could then use the new name at some boards and the old name at others.
As a reminder, ezSupporter accounts and accounts that are the ezop of a board cannot be deleted.
If you wish to delete a Supporter account and it is not the master account, you will need to unlink it and then delete it. We recommend that you wait a day before deleting just in case the account re-links.
If you need to delete the master account, you will need to request that the ezSupporter be transfered to another account. helpdesk.ezboard.com/index.php?_a=tickets&_m=submit&group=payments You can request that the remaining supporter be transfered to another one of your names or to someone else.
If you wish to delete an ezop account, you will need to transfer ownership to an admin or shut down the board and ask to have the board removed from the account.

Please note that deleting your account will not delete posts that were made with that account. If your old account name was incorrectly formatted when you posted with it, those posts will remain just as they were before you deleted the account.
After deleting your account, if you plan to register a new account on the e-mail address that was linked to the old account, we suggest waiting about 1 hour before registering your new account. In rare occurrences, if you re-register too soon, your original account may be resurrected in a corrupt form.
If you have any trouble with the deletion process, please open an Accounts ticket, by submitting a Help ticket, and someone will help you delete your account.
