Hi Bash,

In 'membership related settings', type in the new name in the field called Name, then enter your password and hit 'change profile'

Hmmm, strange - it works for me.

Then it may be because your new name is already used by someone. Is 'name' written in red after you've clicked on 'change profile'?  Smiley

Hi Bash,

Here is a Thread on Changing your user name.

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,238176.0.html

I suspect the problem you are experiencing is that the name you wish to use is already in use by another member. The name you chose needs to be a unique name. You will need to select another name or you may find it will work if you make a minor change to the name you wish to use, such as using a _ to separate the words or using a . or placing a number after the name for example.

Good Luck.............Kris  Cheesy

just noticed that when i have changed it my name doesnt go red but the word "name" does. is that because someone else has the name or another reason

Just a word of caution ..... if you ever have to log in to Rootschat again it is your original username and password that are required NOT the screen name you use.
