Noob Question: How to Change Name on Forums

**Austria-Hungary** · 12-14-2017, 11:34 AM

I feel like a complete idiot for asking this, but I don't know how to change my name on the forums. The Steam login is using a very old name of mine and I'd rather use the new name I go by. I have looked everywhere on this website and I cannot find where to change it. Do I have to request it be changed? Is it for some reason disabled? Am I just a nincompoop? xD

its linked to your steam profile name, but you can force changed it under userCP

I understand this, but I cannot find where you force it to change.

I understand this, but I cannot find where you force it to change.

The change name option isn't there for everyone not really sure why, all I was told is to sign out and back in because its connected to steam.

Your Forum name is linked with your Steam Name, you'll have to change it and sign out / back in. You won't be able to change it in your UserCP since your forum account doesn't have a password anymore.
