I can however change it to Princess_Leia if that helps.
These aren’t the answers I am looking for...
I’m sure the boss will confirm that is the issue though.

I thought the whole reason your user name was idej jedi was because of your reg plate.
What do you want to change it to and maybe you could do a poll to see if members agree you should change it.
If its Doris or something, I would leave it as is. :)

I’ll take Doris if it’s available! Better than people calling me Jedi! I just wanted to change it to idej_z4, same as my Insta account.

I would imagine the only person who could REALLY do this would be sp3ctre. Theoretically, with access to the MySQL Database that phpbb uses, you could change the username via phpMyAdmin or some other database management. The username Shouldn't be joined to any other table, since (speaking from a web developer perspective here) you should always use generated Unique ID's for any joins etc.

I've used phpbb before (3+) and it was easy to change username without repercussions, but I've not used it much myself so not sure why it would mess posts up etc

This has spiralled into a much bigger beast than I intended...I'll just take the 'Jedi' name, at least I'm not being called a Sith! :evil:
