Change the Way Username Is Displayed on UESP?

This is such a minor thing, but I was just curious if I could change the way my username is displayed on UESP. Currently, it's Keneticmotion but I'd like it to be all lowercase (i.e., keneticmotion). I could have sworn that I had entered it as all lowercase and then the system had defaulted it to initial caps.

If this has been asked before, please do not hesitate to redirect me there. Just hadn't seen anything in my initial search through the forums. Had searched "username" (too many results), then "edit username" and had not seen any results relating to my query. Thank you for your help and sorry to bother everyone with such a minor thing.

When I look to the left of your post where it displays your username, it already is all lowercase.

As far as I know, the usernames have always been displayed just as we created them-- at least, mine is displayed with 3 uppercase characters (SeaGtGruff), just as I created it, rathef than converting it to all lowercase as some websites do.

Maybe I should ask-- What program or browser are you using to view the forums?

Only forum moderators can change user names on the forums, and only administrators can change user names on the wiki.

Your forum name appears as all lowercase for me, too, so as far as the forum is concerned, you should be good.

If you want to change your wiki user name, the easiest way to do so is to post a request on the Admin Noticeboard detailing the change you want made. This will allow you to preserve your edit and contribution history.

And 'tis no bother at all--major issue or minor, we're here to help! :mrgreen:

Gruff & Wolf here for the save :sweetroll:

But ya, everything seems to look fine. If your talking about the wiki, just as Wolf said, you wanna use the noticeboard. Alternatively, you can also use the wiki channel on our Discord server but its better to do this officially

If its on the forums, it looks fine to me
