But it is for some. I'll mention no names. It makes me wonder..and not just here but on the Serato forum.What are the qualifications of the elite?
I would like a better name than bigron1.
Maybe DJ BoatRocker.

I am sure I read a thread and the answer was to raise a ticked, would be nice if one of the moderators / staff could clarify this as I myself like a few others picked a username originally thinking it was just for the forum , and now its your login and ask the DJ name as well.

According to the wiki, accounts can be merged, so in theory you could create a new account then register the email address of the old account in the new one - which should then ask if you want to merge the accounts.See https://www.virtualdj.com/wiki/How%20can%20I%20change%20my%20Account%20email.html

Hi,i opened a ticket, they told me that it is not possible to change a nickname.
I created a new account and now will try to ask them to move my license information to the new account.
The merge did not work as described above.

It was not successful, the support only gave the answer:
Hi, i'm so sorry but we do not change nicknames.

Country: DE
BUT: Now i have the VDJ 7 license in my new nickname?
What i did was to register a new user with djlindwurm and gave them the same email adress than djheesters.
Very strange is that i can login with djlindwurm and/or dj-lindwurm, looks like the minus sign will be ignored ????
In the moment i am in dicussion with others about different things that can depend on this change (Sets are no more visible on the internet)

I was able to change my DJ name by going into my account and changing my forum nickname. I'm not sure if that's the same thing, but it worked for me.

Your name is quite good..maybe they are being merciful to those with awful names?I think Ragdo11 needs to go back to the planning stage.
