Question

I heard that you can change your username on here, one time?
And if so, how would people recognize you with a new username? Or is that something you just have to deal with?

Answer 1

No u can't change your username by any means.

Answer 2

Nope.

Changing Username = A no no

But one thing you can do is create a new account with your desired username

Answer 3

^^ and if you make anothe account put it in the bio of your old account and/or message all your fans what your new account is. Make a question that tells people your new account.. umm tell pwoplw in the chats.

Answer 4

Actually, username could be changed, even with the current set up.
It would just be a difficult task.

Answer 5

There are two ways of going about it.

1) Create a new column to server as the primary key and import all the data into that database. (Difficult, thorough fix)

2) Create a new column to serve as the display name. (Easier, shallow fix)

Answer 6

The reason 1 is more difficult because you have to basically copy every table that references usernames to create a version that references the primary key.

The reason 2 is shallow is because all of the issues we have with non ASCII usernames is going to remain.

Answer 7

Both would still be pretty difficult because one would have to make changes to various parts of the server code to use the new columns

Answer 8

oh ok :( thanks guys
