I'm told phpbb can be configured to allow users to change their own usernames. If the administrators don't mind, could this please be turned on?

Otherwise, I request that my username be changed to lunasspecto

Sorry for the inconvenience.

It already is on; if you go to your user control panel, then profile / account settings, you'll see the field to change.

George, I think you can edit it only because you are a moderator. The rest of us can't.

When I signed up I didn't realise the username accepted spaces and I'd love to put a space in my username or change it to something slightly shorter. The contracted double-capitalisation is a bit ugly as is.

Shoot, that's correct. Apologies @Kazuki Mishima. I had checked the forum settings and the 'allow users to change username' was set to 'yes', so I'm not sure what the issue is.

That's odd. But it's no big deal really.

I updated another setting so you should be able to now. Don't go crazy though!
