I was asked how I changed my user name to now Po1ar from Oaf3. It was fairly easy. I was told I should post how to do it. So here it is....... First you need to think of a new name. Then go to your account page on geocaching.com and on the right side there is the option to Find Another Player. Click that and type in the new name you want. If it's already taken you need to think of another new name. Until you find one that isn't already being used. Once you've got that. You send an email to.....contact@geocaching.com ...... with a small note explaining why you want a name change. And I guess if they think it's a good one you get a new name. I hope this is helpful to anyone that wanted to change there username.

Thanks for the info! I've been thinking about changing my name, since mine no longer fits. I'll give it a try if I can come up with something I like, along with a convincing reason for the change. Name ideas, anyone?

Shoot, I guess I'd have to change my avatar, too. Hmm.... I don't know, might be too much change for me.

Name ideas, anyone? IwannabelikeMTBOY would be my suggestion. You might have to make it IwannabelikeMTBOY154 or something because I think there are more than a few of those names out there.

AKGW: how about changing your name to & or whatever the name of the symbol Prince changed his to. Then you would be known as the geocacher formerly as Akgeowidow.

I thought about changing my name so people will look for my caches That might work for the first one or two caches you put out under the new name, but people would catch on really quick! Thanks for the great name suggestion above. I'll have to think about that one.

That way I won't be akgeowidow, but people will still know who I am, because I'll always be "the cacher formerly known as...." Thanks, that goes near the top of the list, right above MTboy's suggestion. Hmm, what symbol...?

I tried to change mine to IwannabelikeMTBOY155 for the forums and I could enter only the first eighteen characters. I really do wannabelikeMTBOY, but I know I'm in line behind many others, beginning with Tundra Tim.

whew - go away for a few days and revolution sweeps the land!
On the other hand, this thread got me thinking... if I ever move to Prescott Valley Arizona should I change my handle to... SouthWes?
It just doesn't sound right... and I like akgeowidow! It's a great conversation starter.
BTW - tell the big guy I got a black version of his gearbag for Christmas & it was awesome on a recent ten-day vacation trip... now to set it up for the CC format...

Post by arcticbutterfly "Akbfly" on Feb 4, 2009 5:07:59 GMT -9
So glad I ran across this thread! I have been wanting to change arcticbutterfly to akbfly forever! Well at least since it takes up almost a whole nano log! And plus AKBFLY fits on a license plate so much better than arcticbutterfly.
It worked I am now officially AKBFLY.....the cacher formally known as arcticbutterfly....now just to figure out a symbol and ill be good to go!
