Many users have requested a change to their user name, but this hasn't been possible - until now! Simply go to the profile page where you'll see a new field at the top called Primary Username. You can change your username to any name not already owned by another member. Other aliases you've had in the past are listed below. You own these names. Forever. You can change back to old aliases, but no one else can use them.
This feature of changing users aliases is very cool. It should be a nice addition to the EvC Board. Although, I do have one question; I am presuming that the IP of your computer automatically notifies you (
the Admin) that you are that user and, indeed, that is your
own password, correct? I just would like to understand this a bit more in detail, I suppose, even though it is rather straight-forward. I just wouldn't want someone else by using various methods of hacking into your account, then they could apply to your own Evc ID.

Old message pages will not reflect the new user name until they are rebuilt, but your old aliases are still you, and you can always use them. But no matter which alias you use to submit a message, it will always appear under your primary username.
Ah, very cool indeed. So basically the old aliases serve as an inventory to pick and choose what were your old aliases. That is very neat feature for EvC cyberspace.
