Chortle Chook Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I've searched the FAQs but can't find out how to change my user name. When I entered it I didn't realise how it appears and well, frankly, it is dull. I'd like to change it to something more chickeny. Can anyone help? Hope I'm not being daft.

Chucky1 Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I think I read somewhere that it has to be done by the Mods or maybe Admin. I'm sure one of them will be along shortly Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortle Chook Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 I'm hoping. I'd like to be called 'Chickadee' which was my nickname as a child Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 If you go to User Control Panel (top left), and click on Profile/Account Settings, you should be able to change it there. Alternatively, you can PM Barbara or Christian and ask them to do it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I'm hoping. I'd like to be called 'Chickadee' which was my nickname as a child Afraid you've been beaten to that name . Here's a list of forum members starting with "C" - might give you inspiration (and let you see what names are already taken!) http://club.omlet.co.uk/forum/memberlist.php?&first_char=c#memberlist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I'm afraid you can't change your own username. Either PM me or email Barbara@omlet.co.uk and we can do it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortle Chook Posted October 29, 2010 Author Share Posted October 29, 2010 Gosh how kind you all are. I've looked on the list and couldn't see Chickpea. How about it? That was the name of my first chook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chortle Chook Posted October 29, 2010 Author Share Posted October 29, 2010 Oh dear, originality is clearly not my thing I had not realised there were quite so many 'C's How about 1. Cheaky Chick 2. Cluck 3. Chickadea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 If you think of a username you like, click on the link and do a search to see if it is there - memberlist.php?mode=searchuser If not, you can PM me and I will change it for you.

Olly Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I'm afraid you can't change your own username. Afraid that just goes to show, even the Mods don't know how it all works! Apologies, I thought you could do it yourself. Keep on searching and you'll come up with something you like. How about a favourite hobby combined with the name of one of your hens - that's a common suggestion for making up a username? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chortle Chook Posted October 29, 2010 Author Share Posted October 29, 2010 Cheaky Chook here. You are just brilliant! I used to be rather scared of all this modern communication stuff, but it is such fun and has opened up a whole new world full of warm, kind people as addictive as the hens themselves.

Chortle Chook Posted October 29, 2010 Author Share Posted October 29, 2010 but who were you before??? I will be confused now... I was 'reescj2' . My avatar of my little cockerel hasn't changed I'm just getting used to internet communications and I thought that the user name was just something for logging in with, and that it would never be seen by anyone, but then I realised that it was something that you all call eachother by . Haven't our moderators been forebearing? I just love this forum. It has taught me so much from how good it is to have ex hens, what breeds there are, how to look after them, how much you all do for your ex bats etc. etc. I've also spent a lot of pennies on my chooks since joining it. Hope OH doesn't notice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
