Thread: Is it possible to change ones username on the site?

<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">My current username for <a
href="http://postgresql.org">postgresql.org</a>sites is something I'd rather not use anymore.  I can probably change my

value.</div><divclass="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br /></div><div

No, it's not possible to rename existing users.  I think it's easier to
create another account.  I don't know whether we have a uniqueness
restriction on emails, but even if we do, surely you could just use
davidgjohnston@gmail.com instead, since dots in the username are
disregarded by Gmail (or a "+pg" suffix)
