Can You Change Your Username?
Is there a way you can change you Username? I was thinking this because when Minecraft let you change your Username (in the next update 1.8.0 you will hopefully be able to) I am going to change it! (I HATE my Username) I like keeping my Usernames the some across Things so I was thinking, is there a way?
Can You Help?
(I have not thought of the Username yet!)

Can You Change Your Username?
Quoting the Scratch FAQ:
Can I change my username?
The structure of the Scratch website depends on having a consistent account name, so it’s not possible to change your username. If you really need to, you can make a new account - but you'll have to copy your projects over on your own.

Thanks For The Help!
If you did make a new account you would not have to Scratcher status or the time you have had Scratch for!?
This was the same problem Minecraft had, they solving it by changing the username system to a unique IDs system. I am not sergesting for scratch to do that but that is how Minecraft are doing it.

Yeah, I would like to Ask a question. Are you allowed to create another Wikia for Scratch?

You should really have asked your question on a new thread, because it doesn't really have anything to do with the questions max31bell originally asked.okThanks For The Help!You will not retain your Scratcher status (ie. New Scratcher once again).

No, you can't change your username. If you want to have a different username, then create a new account with that username for the name and move accounts to it.

No, but you can make a new account. Even though Scratch says you can copy projects, I asked a Scratch Team Member and he said that you cannot copy projects. If you make a new account you will have to make new projects. So here are the pros of making a new account:
1. new username
2. you can start fresh on Scratch
Cons:
1. you won't retain status
2. you wont' have your old projects
3. you will have to get your old followers back

You cannot change your username.
Do you know a good project that doesn't have a lot of attention? Suggest a project to be put in this studio that is unpopular.

Also, the St said they won't allow username changes. The best you can do is switch accounts.

Since this topic hasn't seen a new post from the topic owner in a long time, I'm going to assume that it is dead and close the topic. If it still is alive, the topic owner just needs to use the Report button to ask a mod to reopen it
