Change username?

[paulc]

There have been a couple of discussion threads about the fact that usernames can have an underscore in them (mine is paulc_) and the fact that this results in invalid (and ugly) domain names for generated vals. One option is to rewrite _ to -(though this potentially ends up with '--' as the separator which isn't great). One other option would be to just change the username to remove this (I don't actually remember when I set this but probably wouldn't have used an _ if I knew that this would cause problems) however I cant find any way to do this in the admin UI - is this possible without creating a new account?

You can change your username by emailing me and letting me know your current username and what you'd like to change it to.

Be forewarned: if you have any imports to any of your vals, changing your username will break those.

Regarding a better encoding scheme, @tmcw is working on it, but it's not on the current list of priorities. Hopefully soon!
