Thanks Mark. While I know it's rare for a user to change their username, it certainly happens to a lot of us. This would not only cut down on admin time, but would allow the user to more freely change their name. On some sites I've come up with a decent username and then came up with one that is much better. Had I not been able to change it, it would have been a bummer. After all, this is the name that people will be referring to us (unless they happen to look at your profile and see your name).

YouTube is one of the few famous sites that does not allow this. I can assure you there are a lot of outraged folks about this!

Thanks for the heads up on this Josh

Hi Mark,

Could you please tell us when will be this feature implemented?

Thanks,
Giang Anh

Hello Giang,

We do not have any ETA on this yet

Was this ever implemented - I just tried to edit my username and even though Joomla user manager has it set to allow that EasySocial won't allow this.Perhaps I missed the setting somewhere for this?

Admins are still not allowed to change their username on the front yet at this point of time.

It was actually just users but anyway I can't believe you still haven't added this - as mentioned even Community Builder supports this and also I see JomSocial does as well...

Okay, my bad. It looks like this is already added as an optional settings in the custom fields, http://take.ms/EKPMX . As soon as you have that enabled, you can edit your username on the front end.

Great, a bit tucked away - thanks for finding it. I think your online documentation is all a bit out of date now?

Hey Itamar,

No problem. Yeah, if I recall correctly, this was a feature where some admins want to allow certain profile type to allow editing of username while some doesn't. This is why it was placed in the custom field settings.
