I don't remember creating an account with my email address and I never bought anything from here before. Is there any way to change my Username or am I stuck with what I am given??

Sure -- please email me (hey at lexaloffle.com) from your account's email address, with the username you'd like to switch to.

Thanks zep! I will get on that.

can I change it too?

Hi @zep the above email doesn't seem to be working. Or did I type it wrongly?

@zep The above email doesn't work for me either, is it still the same thing or has it changed since then?

@CatastrophicCal Maybe you're using an underscore ( _ ), but shouldn't be? It might look like there is an underscore in that address, but there isn't. The username is separated from the @domain.com part with a space so it doesn't get scraped by bots.

Good point -- I changed my original post so that the username widget thing doesn't mess it up.

In any case, I couldn't find an email from you -- could you please send one again with the username you'd prefer? (hey at lexaloffle dot com)

Oh hey, @zep I've emailed a few times about this, but haven't heard back... I've used the email address associated with this account. If I could change it, I'd REALLY appreciate it...

While this topic is open, @zep, you cannot use the @ to address some people in messages for some aliases because their alias has a space or dash - in it.

Suggest you allow the writer using @ to be able to use _ character in place of space or dash -

A simple solution would be to take all aliases and =search and replace= all spaces (#32) and dashes - with _ (#95). Then either do not allow space as a valid character when generating a new alias or auto-convert that space to _

Also convert over any other abnormal characters in alias [ ^ @ etc. as well.

Thanks !

I hope I'm not late to the conversation, does someone know where I can find zep's email, or how I can ask him for a user change?

You're coming in late in the day, @RL232030. :)

To write ZEP as he stated above it is:

Ok I was confused because it I wrote it as you did but I realized the weird looking a means at, it was on my nose the whole time but thank you anyways

sent an email on 2024-04-08, still no response :(

Hi @zep
I was wondering if you could help me with changing my username? I've already sent an email from my account email address to verify it's me. Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks.
