There are a number of legitimate reasons why you might want to change your User Name, including:

• The User Name you originally submitted didn't meet the User Name Guidelines and you were given one of those generic "Member #1234" User Names.
  
  
• You want to have your WSG User Name match your User Name on other Forums.
  
  
• You are concerned that someone may have come to associate your User Name with you personally.
  
  
• You've simply identified a more suitable User Name for yourself.
  
  

Changing your User Name is easy, and I'll be pleased to acommidate your request, as follows:

• Log in to the Forum.
  
  
• Read the User Name Guidelines and check that your proposed new User Name conforms with the guidelines.
  
  
• Use the Forum's Search Function (top menu) to check that your proposed new User Name is available.
  
  
• Use the Contact Us form to send me an email. The form will automatically provide your current user name and membership email address. All you need to say is "Please change my User Name" along with your proposed new User Name.
  
  
• I will use the return address of your email to find your membership record, and once I have establised that I am indeed in communication with YOU, then I will effect the change.
  
  

Other Notes:

• Changing your User Name does not effect your current Membership Status, does not effect your password, and does not effect your current or future Private Messages.
  
  
• Changes in your User Name will be reflected in all your past reports. In other words, all your existing reports and your future reports will display your new User Name.
  
  
• You will be notified by email when your User Name has been changed.
  
  

Please note that it is not possible to use the PM system to administrate User Name changes because once your User Name has been changed, I cannot contact you by PM to advise you of the change because you cannot login under your previous User Name, and you won't know that your User Name was modified because you can't read the PM.
