    Change User Name?

    I'd like to change my user name and don't see a way to do so in the settings. Is there a secret handshake I need to know?

    Do tell...

    I'm flattered.. thank you.

    I've been trying to figure out how make that very connection so I my new account doesn't suffer anonymity. I figured I would put something in my signature so folks would be able to make the connection.

    Over the past few weeks a few members I have met in person commented on my user name being Mike kim... About fifteen years ago I started using MirrororriM... Mirror rorriM... There's a name for the use of a word spelled backwards, though I don't know it. It was just fun. Then I started using what I have now.. Mike ekiM or MikekiM.. same forward and back..

    On my thru hike of the Laurel Highlands Trails, I was christened with the trail name Extra, to it seems appropriate to change to that.

    Your new and old name will be merged together under the new one so all your old posts will appear under your new name.

    Change User Name?

    MikekiM I’ve gotten to like your palindrome trail name so much that now that you are getting an Extra trail name, that I’m fixin ta change my trail name from Phantom Grappler to MikekiM.
    Cause I’m wonted in 38 states and not wonted in 12 others...
    If you are detained by the law, they will probably figure out case of mistaken identity after a few days in lock up.

    If I can remember, I’ll delete my post in one day
    Laugh every day, and get away from day2day in hammock in piney woods

    cmc4free, you got me, hahaha
    Great people here on Hammock Forums
    MikekiM Extra by any name a great hammocker and great poster...old Phantom—great imposter

    Careful... right now some screen name poacher is 'buying up' all those user names and will be holding you hostage.
