hI,

When I was setting up my squidoo stuff, I put in a user name that I thought was just for login purposes. I want to change it, but when I go to my bio/profile page and try to change it, I am unable to change the user name. Help! Anyone know what I can do?

Sorry
The only thing you can do is sign up again, with the user name you really want.
If you have lenses already with your current account, you can transfer them over to the new account..........then you can delete the old account.

Wow. I have to say a lot of things about Squidoo are cumbersome. I would think they would make it clear just what the User Name is...and how important it is to make sure it's what you want since one can't change. THANKS for your answer! I soooooo appreciate it! You're awesome!

OK, so I tried to create a new account, but it won't let me...because it's tied to the same email address. Aaargh. Someone help???

No problem!
You'll get the hang of it pretty quick, then look back at your earlier days and think DUH!!
Just keep comin' back to the forum...........you can find anything and everything you need here

If you can't use the same e-mail address for a second account, use an alternate address. (If you don't have another e-mail address, you probably should; people often use different accounts for business, family, internet contacts, etc., and if you use Squidoo a lot, you might want one just for Squidoo!) You can modify your profile from your dashboard; either change the old account and then sign up at the new account with your preferred e-mail; or use an alternate address to sign up for a new account, then modify its profile.

Yup, sorry, usernames are permanent.

In the past, people have changed usernames with ill intents and ended up with locked and and closed accounts. Plus changing your username really goofs with the incoming links to your lensmaster bio page, etc. So usernames are now permanent.
