Hi all,

  I have 2 questions. Firstly is it possible to change a users Username once they have signed up for an account?

  Secondly I have the following SQL script running to pull a set of details off for me:

select userName from users u
join userroles ur on u.userid = ur.userid
join roles r on ur.roleid = r.roleid
where rolename = 'Guild Members'

What I cant sem to get working is for this to also pull up the users Dislpay Name as well. This is how I would like it to look (doesn't have to be pretty):

User Name Display Name
Bob Patty
Spike You Know

Can anyone help me out with either of these?

Thanks in advance

There isn't any administrative method to change a user's username.  You could potentially make the change in the database, but you'll need to be careful to update all of the necessary locations, like both aspnet_Users and Users.

The following query should be all that you need for your second question:

select userName, DisplayName from users u join userroles ur on u.userid = ur.userid join roles r on ur.roleid = r.roleid where rolename = 'Guild Members'

Hope it helps,

Thanks for the reponce. I think  I will leave the usernames as is, it will create too much work to change them over. That SQL quiery worked a treat :D YEY
