StaceyG:  That's actually odd about multiple account not able to be merged... because I've actually had this done before, some years ago.  Had my whole gallery switched to a different account that I had.

If this option is not possible, that's unfortunate.  I'm sure by now that many people created alternate accounts because they could not switch their usernames.  Now, seeing as there is a charge to SWITCH usernames, AND you cannot merge existing accounts, AND it's quite possible the new username you want IS one of your other accounts.... what's the point, really, for anyone to pay the $$ to switch the name?

Sure, you might have the odd member who has never switched his/her name or created an alternate account, but really, if renderosity wanted this to be profitable... you might want to include the merging option. (as I said, I KNOW it can be done, I had it done before)

You might have had a customer here, for example.  I will be the first to admit that over the years I've changed my name a few times, and I'd be willing to pay for this as a result of that fickleness (hehe).

Mind you, as someone said above (can't remember who)... this option is entirely FREE at Daz... you can switch it once, you can switch it back... and all of your purchases and other activities are logged right along with it....
