username help

95% of teens would cry if they saw the Jonas Brothers at the top of a sky scraper about to jump. If you are in the 5% who would grab some popcorn and then go get a nice seat to watch and start chanting JUMP! JUMP! JUMP! JUMP! then copy and paste this in your sig.

Unfortunately, you can't. Sorry.

Re: username help

No, sorry.  You would have to make a whole new account and upload all your projects to that one, but they wouldn't have previous data on them (views, comments, etc.).

No, but you can press the Contact us link at the bottom of the page and send an e-mail to the Scratch team requesting for them to change your username.

Hope this helped!  wink

Re: username help

No, you can't change your username.  But, if your projects are still saved in your computer, (if they're not just download them again) you can delete your account and then put the projects on your new account (saying that you used to be your other account  so people don't think you copied) yeah I think you can do that and it will work it's just it may take a while...

Actually it's after, and I guess it's automatically added for a list of users...

According to the Scratch FAQ, "At the moment, there is no way to change your username in Scratch without creating an entirely new account."

Re: username help

I think it is possible for them since users are actually identified as numbers and not names, but they don't want to start doing it as it might result in abuse of the function.

Yep.  tongue
@numbers: You're probably right. After all, the show friends, galleries, comments, ignore, icon, and more are by numbers.
