Change your usernames to work with CB subdomains. If your subdomain doesn't work because you have invalid characters in your username (everything not a-z0-9- is invalid), or if you simply don't like your current username, click on the link below to change your username. You will be able to change your username once every six months, so please consider carefully before choosing a new one. If you end up not liking it, you're going to have to live with it. Admins no longer can change your usernames without breaking your CB4 personal pages. Also, next time you log in, remember to use your NEW username to log in, otherwise you won't be able to.
http://www.createblog.com/home/username.phpEDIT;if an admin changed your username at any time in the past, not all pages will reflect your current username (like your submitted layouts). To fix this problem, just input your CURRENT username to the form.

Umm what is the subdomain and where do we go to access it? Dunno where this should go.

Oh, yay. I'm currently satisfied with my username (and I think I will be for a long time). But I was just wondering. Is there like a script that automatically detects if it's been six months? Or do the admin check it manually?

So is it we can change our usernames for the first time after cB4 whenever we like?

i forgot to mention if at anytime you requested an admin to change your username, your cb submissions (layouts, favs) wouldnt reflect your current name. input your current username to the name changer and that should update everything to reflect your current username.

oh mannnn, i made a mistake. if you have an underscore in your name, technically, you have an invalid name, since only alphnumeric plus dash is the only valid characters for subdomains (hostnames). internet explorer users will not be able to add comments to your pages (since IE only sends cookie data if the hostname is valid), so im considering reseting the username count so that those people can change their usernames again...

PS. please dont ask an admin to delete a username (since deleting using the forum acp will only delete the forum account but not the cb4 account). if you wish to chagne your username to an account that is taken, if that account has been inactive for over a year and has zero posts, let me know! =)

There used to be a 'view member name history' or something like that option in the profiles. I'm not seeing it now though.

I'm sorry to hear that you don't want to be a member anymore.
You'll have to PM an administrator and ask them to unregister your account. We currently have two administrators:
mzkandi (Kiera) and
superstitious (Rebecca).
