"You cannot change your username."

"How do you make a more suitable one? "

"Greetings.
Can we sort out changing username please.

For a multitude of reasons, it must be inevitable that users will, from time to time, need to change their usernames. It must surely be equally appropriate that, for a reasonably sophisticated service such as this one, users are supplied with a reasonably straight forward way of achieving that.

From what I see in these threads, there are some 'work arounds', which are not especially clear to the less IT-cognisent person. If I understand one suggestion correctly, you can change your e-mail in your account (thereby effectively creating a dummy account) and then sign up for a new one. Now, does that also mean that the person, who changes their e-mail can be re-invited by the wiki originator via the original e-mail address? Presumably, the dummy account is left hanging ... for ever?

So, for Wetpaint - do you not agree that this issue needs a better solution than the one(s) currently offered? For anyone else - have I described the work around correctly or are there some other steps waiting to trip me up or trick others out of the wiki.

Many thanks.
