I'm "Claude" right now, but I'm thinking about changing it. How? I've searched the forums, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Im pretty sure changing your UserName never will be possible. Causes to much confusion.

Its more of a technical issue and how things in a database run, changing your username (which would be attached to all your submissions, images etc) would cause way too much trouble.

Name changing = confusion.

Imagine in real life if you could change your name just by editing on a government website.

One minute, your friends will call you "Steve" and the next, you can be "George". Egh :P

But it's not as easy as it is on a website.

There's a big difference between having the ability to change usernames and just not doing it.  I can think of only one case of this happening since the site launched.  The policy is no username changes.
