Default I'm abit confused.

Hi,

My username on my forum is the same as here, "AdamP".
I wanna change my username, however, to "Admin"... but when I go to, it says the username is already in use... but it's not. Abit... strange. :S

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

Adam

Don't do that on your forum, better try it on your testforum first if you have one.
I tried the name change for you on my test forum. I was able to change the name into
Admin.
Admin_
Admin1
Admin(whatever)
( "Admin" actually doesn't work. I wonder why, if the name's not been taken?)

But, as I said, try it on a testforum to make sure you can log on with the new name.
