Change your forum name or merge accounts

Wed Aug 08, 2018 3:16 am

Is it possible to change your forum name or merge 2 different accounts?. This is Andre3K and I just realized I have this old Airliners.net account and I want to change the name to the one I actually use. Is that possible?

No you cannot merge accounts, you will need to contact support@airliners.net and ask for deletion of the account you don’t want otherwise you are at risk of a ban if both accounts are left open as per forum rules

Hi, actually we can merge accounts now, at least to some extent. Linking photos from one account to another, but I am not sure if forum posts are merged as well.

If I keep the old account can I change the name at least to the new one?

We can merge forum posts from one account to another, but it's a bit tedius. It's fine for just a few posts, but because we have to do it for every individual post, transferring posts from one account to another isn't an option.

I understand that but is it possible to just change my old name to the new one and just keep the old account?

We can't change names on accounts. One account will have to be deleted one way or another.
