When you accept an email invite you are automatically given a username. Unfortunately it’s not the best username for most people. No problem, it’s quick and easy to change. Don’t dally though as you have 3 days to change it yourself.
To change your username…
Click your avatar icon, top right, then your username or the gear icon.
Hi Chris, there’s a little bit of help text that appears when you edit your username “must only include numbers, letters and underscores”. So no spaces allowed I’m afraid. You can use MetalKiwi if you like.
I think spaces are disallowed as it makes it awkward for the forum to pick you up in @detectnz mentions.
Yeah saw the help text message.
I have changed it to one word. Pity though as the old site was ok with two words
just as if it was your real name. Had a look at the members list and there are quite a few with double word user names so be interesting to see any reaction.
