Change forum nickname

lancevance · Jun 10th 2017, 12:37pm

Hello All,

Do you know how i can change my nickname on the forum ?
Because it's not the same on the C&C website and i can't find the option for change it in forum parameters.

Thank you

I would say it is the same. Nickname on the website and forum should be the same.

I haven't tried to change yet, but access to change is on the website's top bar (when you click on your name in the bar - completely right).

There is option to change it once.

Thanks for your reply Dylan81, i already change my nickname on the website (only one attempt) but it's not synchronize with my forum account.
I have another choice for change firstname / lastname but i think it's isolated from the forum

Sounds like a bug then. Hopefully it fixes itself up. Your name is currently lancevance just if you have changed it and you couldn't see or something.

Okaaaay, it seems like it's solved now xD
I just logout then login from the forum and surprise, my nickname is Lance1018, my real nickname

But it's a new account... O_o

Thanks mmmBetty !

That is strange that it's a new account. I guess they are still having teething problems with the system.

@lancevance @Lance1018 I can still tag both accounts. Do you get 2 notifications?

CallMeMegalo · Jun 13th 2017, 8:56pm

Oh, there we go

Streamlined with the rest of my profiles

ChiloopaBatman was a great, but silly name though

Hmmm...I had almost 200 post, seems like I have to start over now. Well, I'll get there soon enough

Only one notification because now, i can't login to my old account "lancevance".
As you say, they have a little problem with the account management.

Lol @CallMeMegalo, it's a new name for the beginning of Cattle and Crops :p

Maybe @Memphis could shed some light on the new account issue when changing nicknames?

TurboStar · Jun 14th 2017, 10:08pm

I changed my nickname some weeks ago to add special characters to my profile and forum made me a new profile.

Memphis · Jun 19th 2017, 12:56pm

Every new user should have the possibility to change his or her nickname once in his or her profile.

TurboStar · Jun 19th 2017, 1:05pm

Yes, but the next login after name changes, the forum creates a new profile.
Example to the top of this page: first @lancevance made this topic, then his profile became @Lance1018 and on the first post there already is his first name.

Yeah I believe that @Ger_Linde had the same "problem" a few months ago on the german forum

Here is the thread Profil Chaos Crash

But there could be many reasons for why it works the way it does. one reason could be that if a user has been a bit of a jerk and they suddenly realise that they have become very unpopular because of that then they have a chance to change their nick to something else and start a whole new profile where no one will know who they used to be.

I do agree, but when I changed my named from ChilopaBatman to my current name I had about 200 posts and a lot of point, now I'm back to almost zero, which doesn't reflect my activity on the site. (Lost the street-cred you know

)

This is my old profile: forum.cattleandcrops.com/user/660-chiloopabatman/

And I would've liked to keep it but, but with the name changed

CallMeMegalo · Jun 19th 2017, 11:07pm

@Memphis Also: I can't log into the tech demo. It just says my account is inactive and it work fine before.

Edit: NEVERMIND it's working again.

mmmBetty · Jun 21st 2017, 1:06pm

I think what everyone is getting at @Memphis is that they just want to change their nickname only, They don't want a new forum account in doing so. They want to keep everything on their account as is and just change their nickname only.
