Changing Username

• by HeatherC moderator

  A couple of people who have their e-mail address as their username have asked me how they change it. I assumed it was as simple as logging onto your Zooniverse profile and changing it there, but it seems not?

  Anyone able to help?

  That's what I thought you had to do as well!

  Any admins around who might know the answer to this one?

  Can you change it at https://www.zooniverse.org/account/settings

  I've just changed mine there...

  Edit: Doesn't seem to have worked. Does it take time for the updates to happen?

  Edit2: In fact, if I now go back to the zooniverse account page, it's as if I never made the update at all. My username is still ral104, although I changed it to RobL and didn't change it back again.

  Rob - that's exactly what the user who first asked this question said to me. She tried doing it like that and it made no difference.

  If the form on the Zooniverse profile page doesn't work, I'm afraid I'm out of ideas. I'll ask to see if anyone knows.

  I'm looking into this, by the way. Bringing it up with the developers!
