Changing your username - About xda-developers.com

As the title says... Can we change our usernames and if so how?? I've looked in the user control panel and can't seem to figure it out.
Thanks in advance, for any help and advice given.

By default, such a thing is not possible in vBulletin.
You will have to contact one of the board admins and ask them to do this for you.
You can find a list of admins here by clicking "View Forum Leaders" at the bottom of the board index.

As correctly stated above, that's an admin task, best contact mikechannon about it or if you like I can pass it along (if not already done by you).
Don't forget to state your new user name, best check up front if it is still unused/available in members list.
Best

Contact mikechannon, he changed mine from flyboyovyick2k9 to flyboyovyick
It took a while but i think she has a lot on.

Lol
your name sounds really fun at least in Spanish
Dr. Nasty (poor translation)

Would it be better if a mod stickied a thread about username changing instead of so many threads with the same subject?

delete this

Moving "Mark all forums read" to the top

Hello.
Lilttle annotanion concerning the forum layout.
Could you please move the link "mark all forums read" to the top where all other global links are. Would be much easier to use this. Now in the moment i've to go back to the forum index to be able to use it.
Don't know exactly, but i'm nearly sure, nobody usess the "view unanswered posts" link.
Maybe also the search button could be deleted, cause many people don't use it.. :wink:
Regards
Stefan

Username

Is there a way to change my username? It's kind of annoying to have the @gmail.co in there.

Well,I doubt very much,it's not possible as there's no such option available in the 'Edit Profile' in the user control Panel,although there are other options available.
Perhaps,it created once and for all,you'll have to create a new username...
or maybe there's a way of which I'm not aware of,only a Moderator or a administrator can tell ?
Well how does one contact a mod or admin? If its really a big deal ill just make another name, id just rather not clutter things with unused names.

Edit a poll

Hi there. I would like to know if it's possible to edit a poll that I created.
I can't find it anywhere...
Only an Admin can do that.
Contact svetius or Mike
Mods can Close Polls, Edit the vote count, edit the Options text, or add options.
We cannot "reset" them though, so if someone has voted, they cannot vote again, not matter what the options are changed to.
So if you need one reseting, contact and admin as orb said.
If you just need amendments then any mod (including me ) can help.

Forum Suggestion

I hope this is the correct forum..
I think it would be awesome if we could receive some sort of notification (or popup) when we are quoted in a thread. Its much easier to keep up with questions and conversations.
As an example.. im on www.slickdeals.net and whenever someone quotes me i get a popup that notifies me and i can click on it and go straight to the comment that quoted me.
If this is already an option in the forum.. please let me know.
Thanks!

This doesn't exist here, but due to the number of users on XDA (approaching 4 million), it is highly likely to bring the site to a grinding crawl

Thanks for responding!

Please make use of the QUOTE/MENTION-Feature

Hello, all XDA-Users.
I know, most users know this, but not every XDA-Member…
I'd really like to say something here:
I truly see too many XDA-Users, that simply post something, without thinking about the fact, that somebody maybe overlook/misses your post.
Well, this is OK, but not, if the post is for a specific user.
If somebody wants to reply/say something to another user, without Quoting a Post of the user or mentioning somebody with @[Username]; the [Username] will not be notificated.
That will cause, that there's an extremely low chance, that [Username] will read the post. Maybe he/she looks at the thread at a random moment or recieves a private message etc. Maybe the Member is subscribed to the thread and takes a look randomlý.
But,
If you talk to somebody, please make use of the Quote/Mention-Feature‼
I'm saying this to anybody, who is a member on XDA-Developers.
[Quote="Username"]
Quoted Text [/QUOTE]
[MENTION]XDA-Member-ID[/MENTION] (mine is [B]6011384[/B]) or simply type @Username

​ I hope, everybody will use the QUOTE/MENTION-Feature in future if neccesary and i also hope, it helped.
Thanks to all XDA-Users.
Thanks for this. Something needed to be said. :good:

I remember your signature once to have a text similar to the following one:
„If you want me to read your post, please either Quote/Reply to my post or type/paste @ИΘΘK¡€ in your post.“
Thanks for your reply
Many members actually forget to use Quote/Mention.
I think, it makes sense to put this into the Non-Urgent Forum rules.
I've seen another post, where Quoting/Mentioning isn't used.
@Hannah Stern, I believe this thread would be a better place for the recommendation you posted above - that way the mods can see it and consider it.

trying to learn how to quote >.<
[MENTION]6011384[/MENTION] @Hannah Stern So it sends them a notification, yet the username doesn't become a clickable link?
And no problem if the username has spaces in between?
*Edit: The username becomes a clickable link, and it appears that spaces in the username isn't a problem, when using with @
Even if you use the @ option, it automatically changes to mention option which you can see by editing the post.
Also, the correct way to use the Mention option is
[MENTION=XDA-Member-ID] 'any text here, preferably the username, and without the quotes' [/MENTION ]

[MENTION ]XDA-Member-ID[/MENTION ]

It should be obvious to me, but it isn't - is there and quick icon to apply the mention tags, or do you have to type the whole thing in? Thanks
