Hello All,
I managed to misspell my username and curious if I can change it to "CloudbaseEngineering" Is this possible. I have a few questions to ask this group but want to wait until my name is correct.
Thank you,
Marc

Not wishing to upset anybody but your user name sounds a little commercial for this forum.

Not sure what policy is but, if you plan to represent your company with your posts, I think it makes sense to be named after your company.
Since you only have two posts, it might be easier to simply make a new account with the right spelling.

It is not possible for you to change your user name.
However it can be changed for special circumstances but we don't make a habit of it. I think the count of name changes is up to 2 over the last twelve years. I'll contact you in a PM about it.

Please DO NOT DO THAT.

We take a dim view of self promotion of a commercial enterprise. While using the companies name as Marc did to respond with more info to your post is understandable, I'm afraid continual use of it if Marc plans to participate at the forum will cross the line.
