i have shutdown my test/dev system and rather than going through phpMyAdmin, i ask:

it is ok to change a member's name directly ? not the displayed name.

You can't do that from the member's profile?

I can't as username is not an editable field.

NO. Don't just change the username like that, now your account can't log in.

Username can be changed in the user interface, there's a little button under where it says username where it will change the username for you - and deal with changing a member's password.

sorry Arantor but i have already reset his password and emailed him.

this is the LAST time i will do this for somebody as they are a little too paranoid, IMO.

i get all sorts  ::)
