    Assuming this is like all other forums then only an Admin can change your username, this is undoubtedly to stop people trolling or just generally causing confusion.

    Sorry to bump but I have the same thing. Appears by default it picks up the prefix of your email address... Guess I'll see if I can work out who is the best community manager to contact.

    I have seen forums where the name can only change the administration of the site or moderators. Probably the same situation here..

    Seeing as he hasn't been on the forums for nearly 8 months I doubt he really cares, so, any particular reason you're necro-posting?
