Help Needed: Can you change your username?

[silly4snow]

Somewhere during signing up for my account last week I missed the boat and put my first and last name as my username (that's no fun now, is it??)

Is there any way to change my username, or do I have to create a new account?

You can't. Contact the Ski Diva directly though messaging.

yeah, I'm with you. I used my regular "art" fun name for all of my designer boards, etc. Wishing I had a cool ski related name now too. :(

MOD note - it was decided some time ago that you could not change your screen name without good cause. It's to keep the continuity of the forum poster. You can imagine Jilly, formerly know as XXXX, formerly know as YYYY.

This definitely makes sense. I don't know why, but I feel like for security purposes it would be better to have a username and not my full name. Since I just joined and only have 2 threads, might be a good time to just do an account-swap! Thanks!

I did the same thing when I signed up and emailed the Ski Diva administrator…. she helped me change it.

LOL. I have lived with mustski because I entered it BEFORE I listened to it out loud! Oh well. It is what it is.

I don't get it.

I don't get it.

Say it out loud and go soft on the "t".

 

[Jilly]

You wanted to be a fish?

huh?

 

[VickiK]

Musky You made it your own!

 

[mustski]

Exactly! In California, we are terrible at pronouncing our "t's" - we tend to barely tap them. As a result, I have been bothered by my fishy name.

There are worse things. A friend of mine chose the nickname "Melf" without realizing how similar it sounds to "MILF" ... and you know, no one gives her crap about it, because she's too cool =)

 

[santacruz skier]

okay i just googled it….. now i get it…. not always referring to a fish smell.

 

[santacruz skier]

and i really laughed when i looked up MILF

 

[mustski]

okay i just googled it….. now i get it…. not always referring to a fish smell.

But that is another problem with Californian's who don't pronounce that "t." I prefer the fish to the fishy smell!

I think that "mustski" is a great user name, but then again, I'm from New Yawk.

Either way, I wouldn't change it now. I'm used to it and it is what it is.

I signed up the week they stopped allowing people to change. Almost immediately I realized that my descriptive moniker is too long. Even I only sign stuff as Skimouse even though I couldn't really change it....
