    I'm glad DPRevived exists now. This is great. My username in DPR was 18 characters long and I'd love to have it here too. If it's possible, I'd like you to change the rules about the maximum number of characters.

    I have done that, though. I can edit your username if you tell me what you want.

    Is it possible to have space in the name? My DPR name was Manzur Fahim, but I could not get that here.

    Thank you.

    I'd like my username "backsidewalkaround" back :-). Thanks.

    I can do this (I think). But you will need to log off and log back in again (once again, I think). So can you reply saying you've seen this message and then I will change it.

    Hi, Alan.

    Please could you also change my username from HeritageCams to Heritage Cameras (as used on DPReview).

    Thanks!

    There's a had coded maximum of 14 characters. I'll need to chat with the admin team about the implications of increasing that.

    Sorry - the system won't allow spaces in usernames. Something else for us to think about for a future upgrade.

    Same here. My dpreview name is "allineedislight" (15 characters). Can you please add a "t" at the end of my current 14 character name? Many thanks!

    I hate to be a pain - but can you change my username back to my original DPR username? It's sheepless. I have kept my original avatar from the old site. Sorry to be a bother.

    I can do it - you will need to log off and log back on with the new username.

    Can you respond to this post just so I know you've seen it before I do it?

    You can change your username for yourself on this site - no need to ask for it to be done.

    I logged out an logged back on with new username - but it won't accept new username at this point. I can still sign in with my old username.

    I am happy to do it myself - but don't see anywhere on my profile that allows me to do that. It does say username history however.
