Name Changes ​

Name change requests allow members to request a new username, which must be approved by an administrator before it takes effect. This feature is managed under the User Management navigation group in the Admin CP.

How it works ​

1. A member submits a name change request from their profile, providing their desired new username and a reason for the change.
2. The request appears in the Admin CP under Name Changes as a pending request.
3. An administrator reviews the request and either approves or denies it.

Submitting a request ​

Members can request a name change from their profile page. They must provide:

• Username — the new username they would like. Must be unique on the board, and can only contain letters, numbers, dashes and underscores.
• Reason — a short explanation for the name change (up to 255 characters).

Only one pending request can be active at a time. The member must wait for a decision before submitting another.

Reviewing requests ​

In the Admin CP, the name changes page shows all pending requests. Each entry displays the member's current username, their requested username and the reason provided.

Approving a request ​

When you approve a name change:

• The member's username is immediately updated to the new name.
• The request is marked as approved with a timestamp.

Denying a request ​

When you deny a name change:

• The member's username remains unchanged.
• The request is marked as denied with a timestamp.
• The member is free to submit a new request.
