I have an opinion on this.
first, there are many members form whom this is perhaps the first forum they have signed up to and they had to think of an online name quickly and perhaps, later, regretted their choice preferring instead another name
second, we all change over time and I have friends, for example one called Johnny, who recently decided that was what he wanted to be called when he was younger but now prefers John.
members who are not well known and who change their username won't be missed so much from their old username whereas members who have alot of posts and are regular posters and therefore more well known tend to advertise their name change (orangeman, jazzy, jojo, etc to name a few) and so those who are likely to be confused by the change in name are not because of this advertisement of the name change
personally I see no problem with changing names though I suspect most people would only change once anyway and would have thought more about it second time around

As per @masseur's:

I guess a one-time change is only allowed! That's why member's should think a million times before sending @laffen that precious pm . . . By the time @laffen acts on it, the changer (member) must just have forgotten 'bout his request after all  ! |

@masseur, I agree, one time change is ok, but shouldn't it be posted so everyone knows who is posting under that new nick?

Yea, i did that and i also remember orangeman/wapchimp also starting a thread.
Everyone that changes their nick should post it because you might not realise who a certain poster is...for example i worked out that JN was JoJo because of the 'From' part in his profile but i didnt know until then and didnt know who JN was.

Only Laffen can change nicknames. You PM him and ask him to do it.

@p900 lover
Why change you name when the one you have is perfectly fine? Your name denotes your appreciation for a great phone, which in time is sure to be recognised as one of the classic smartphones. I say keep your current name and be proud of it.

@trigga69 - Same here dude! I only realize that you were the @lynx69 back then after a couple of days after your username was changed . . . What so special about the '69' pal. . . Hmmm. . . I know what it just means when talking dirty here (tehehehe)!

@scotsboyuk - I guess a one-time-change will just do . . . . . We do have some lapses in memory and in decision at times dude ! |

hey stupid question,
if the username is changed... do we have to login with the new username ? and does the password remain the same too? |
