A user can't. I think the admin can but I'm not sure, it may be something you can do only in the db itself.

| I'm pretty sure that's something only an Administrator can do. But it can be done. If you need it done here, maybe just ask. If it's on another board that you're hosting, as an admin, click into their profile and change the username. |

I had the same impression and your replies have confirmed that.
I am thinking about writing a script where in I give the user a choice to change his username. That way Admin would have to do one less task and user will have a broad choice.
If I create such a script, can I insert the link in a snitz forum's file like info_top.asp? Will it violate the copyright? |

inserting anything into the code will not break any of the copyrights. The only copyrights you must be aware of are clearly commented in inc_top.asp and inc_footer.asp ie
'## START - REMOVAL OR MODIFICATION OF THIS CODE WILL VIOLATE THE Snitz FORUMS 2000 LICENSE AGREEMENT
Response.Write "<meta name=""copyright"" content=""This code is Copyright (C) 2000-01 Michael Anderson and Pierre Gorissen"">" & vbNewline
'## END - REMOVAL OR MODIFICATION OF THIS CODE WILL VIOLATE THE Snitz FORUMS 2000 LICENSE AGREEMENT |

You should have a pretty good understanding of how the forum database works before allowing users to change their own usernames. IMHO that can introduce a fair amount of chaos in your forum as you can't follow who is who over time.
You will have to decide what should happen to existing posts if a username is changed.

Doug G:
I understand your concern and thanks for pointing it out to me. I guess what I can do is put a flag in database and allow users to change their username ONLY ONCE. And that too, the first time they use snitz forum.
Gremlin:
As I understand from your reply, I can ADD code, but can NOT DELETE or MODIFY the code. Please let me know if I am correct in my understanding.
Thanks |

You can add, delete and modify everything in the codes of the source files except the marked parts. Take a look at http://www.rakkoon.com/blah.asp That used to be a standard 3.4 topic.asp  |

You can not delete or modify the piece of code in inc_top.asp and inc_footer.asp that has the big comments around it looking like this or similar
## START - REMOVAL OR MODIFICATION OF THIS CODE WILL VIOLATE THE Snitz FORUMS 2000 LICENSE AGREEMENT
Everything else but those two pieces of code you can do what you please with. |

I thought the copyright statement at the top of the files (lines 2 to 38) couldn't be removed either... |

On my forum, only two people have requested a change, this was due to them spelling it wrong and not noticing. I wouldn't have thought that enough people would want to do this to make it worth MOding the forum. It's a very easy thing for Admin to do.
