Occasionally UKS members wish to change their UKS name. If you want to do this you must PM me with the old name, new name (having first checked the membership list to ensure it is available) and reason for change.

The reasons you MAY change your user name:

  • registering with your email address as part of you user name
  • registering with your full names (These are for security purposes - yours, not ours!)
  • change of name because of a marriage or divorce
  • changing your UKS name to match a name used on other sites (only if the name you want is available - we will never force a member the change their name for the convenience of another member!)
  • when members from another site come to UKS to pursue a problem elsewhere if your UKS name is the same as it is elsewhere - for this we require a recap of the problem


When you MAY NOT change your user name:

  • if the old user name has bad trader ratings
  • if the old user name failed to complete a CJ or a swap
  • just because you fancy a new name


Changing your user name will set all previous posts you have made with your OLD user name to the NEW user name, it does NOT start using a new user name only with your new posts. If you re-register with a new name, and this trips the Alter-ego detector, the new user name will be merged with the old one.
