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.

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?

As already stated, send your request via PM to MikeChannon. You can find his profile via the link in my signature or from one of the stickys in this very section.
Thanks for your help!

Is there a way I can add my own signature on here? I heard that it is in USER CP but the option isnt there ...

This was an effort to combat spam, and it's had a huge impact! You'll be upgraded to a full account after a certain number of posts (5 - 8 depending on the feature)--it happens automatically. Sorry for the inconvenience

It may take time after reaching the 5-8 post limit for it to allow you access, this is because the process runs in the background.
And when you have enough posts, you can edit your Signature in the UserCP (on the left hand side called "Edit Signature").
Or just click here : Edit Signature

People / Bots were Posting generic messages, like "Thanks this is great" or in some cases, actual responses based on words in a thread. The post it's self was not spam (although pretty pointless), but the users signature would contain 3-4 links to an online company of varying levels of trustworthiness.
We used to find one or two of these bad boys a day. Because they didn't create new threads, nor did they make it obvious to the casual observer, they were getting away with it.
I have not seen one of the so called "signature spammers" since the rules were put in place.
Dave
I had the same question...this is an excellent way to manage spam users. Good job, looking forward to delving more into this forum and getting a signature!
I was a bit upset at not being able to have a signature. Thanks Daveshaw for explaining. Its indeed a great way to stop spammers.

You should be all set now, check your User Control Panel
finally i found the way!!!thank you
At last I found out why I cant use signature.
I will be using the "search" more.
ah so
so that's why I couldn't see it, cant wait to unlock my sig status
Ya the post limit thing when you start a new account is a good idea to keep the spam to nothing..

But you could post it in General, and then help a few people out while you were there, in Q&A, if your device has one. Don't bother with useless posts, they will be deleted and you'll never get to 10.

Well, you might be right but its not that easy. You know I have experience in those stuff in the development forum, but I have no way to make posts there.
I dont wanna be a sort of spammer by posting stupid stuff to get all the 10 posts.
But this 10 post rule leaves no other way to accomplish...
To find a topic that I can make a useful post takes a lot of time.
If you can't spend the time to make ten legitimate posts before posting in the dev fora, then you don't deserve to post there. This is a developer forum, not a support website.

Oh really? I was a clueless noob total non-developer when I came here and I had no trouble at all helping people who needed links or a little guidance where to find the information they need. XDA works because people help those who help themselves. Do not post useless posts, they will be removed and you'll never get to 10.
Why did this thread get unlocked? Now it's more noobs that can't read and just complain again.

I requested that it remain open. I've helped out others with legitimate issues before here. Also, leaving it open allows mods to track spammers easily.
I need to post a image its very important but i gotta be reviewed by a moderator

Thanks

Welcome to forums
You need to arrive to certain number of posts so all XDA features can be unlocked.
Keep posting and you´ll get soon.
I was posting a solution to fix annoying wi-fi issues with Samsung Galaxy I 9000 with images but the forum is not allowing me to post ? I plan to contribute a full series of problem fixes with this particular device. Can any mod allow images only (no links to other sites) for my account ?

I just flashed my first ROM and wanted to create my signature for future posts. I do a SAVE SIGNATURE but when I return it is still blank. I have 15 posts which I believe is more than the threshold???

Looks like it should be working for you based on post history. Does it work in the preview? Are you trying with pictures or simple text?
It doesn't work in preview and it is just a 4 line simple text description of my config
Obviously XDA required sometime to update because it is obviously now working.

If you could please put [RESOLVED] in the title of the first post of this thread then it will show up in the thread list. To contact a mod about the thread, just click the little triangle report button in the upper right hand corner of the first post, fill in a short reason, choose "Thread/post moving or maintenance" in the drop down box and hit submit then one of them will take care of it at some point. Thank you!

Since some days I get a SWISSCOM "advertisement" with criminal background whenever I try to open an XDA page. . They try to get your address and credit card details! It is completely impossibIe to return to previous page. You have to close the tab login newly and see when it comes again. I tried it with various browsers. It hapens with all of them.
I am truly astonished that something like this is possible in this forum.
