Changing Username in Dolphin Forums

Syn Starr · 05-23-2018, 03:56 AM #1

Hello!

This doesn't necessarily pertain to Dolphin as an emulator, but rather the Dolphin forums themselves. I cannot for the life of me find out how to change the username of my account. I had the feeling that I had no choice but to delete my account, however I could not find any option that allows me to do so. This account is also using my main email account, so I cannot create a new account with the same email. Is there any way I could either change my name or delete this account and start from scratch.

Thanks so much!

There is no automated way to do it in MyBB. Just ask me or Shonumi and we'll change it for you!

You're awesome! I apologize for putting this in the wrong subforum. Rookie Mistake!
I'll see if I can message Shonumi about changing my username. Thanks so much for your help!

Okay sooo... for whatever reason, I am unable to change my username because I have restricted access to Composing messages. I'm not sure why this is the case. Attached below is a screenshot of the error message. Basically, I can't message Shonumi. Could you perchance help me change my username to the one I currently use, please?

You should have at least 10 posts to be able to send PMs (and posts is some sections, like Delfino Plaza, doesn't count). We had to implement this limitation to mitigate some spam attempts...

Ooh! Okay. I get it. I was wondering why it said I had restricted access. Well...I was really hoping to change my username before I asked any troubleshooting questions for Dolphin, but now I'm not sure what to do. I'll figure something out.
Thanks for the heads up mbc07!

Okay then. I'd like to change my username to Syn Starr. If site doesn't allow spaces, just make it Syn_Starr. Either is fine by me.
Thanks again! Also, good to see you again, Helios. Hope you're doing well. Wink

@O.P.: I think he was referring to your troubleshooting questions.
