You can't change your screen name. You have to create a new account if you want a new screen name.Message was edited by: qUesT_foR_knOwLeDge

Almost guarenteed you have to create a new account. The only other possibility is to e-mail Sun and if you have a compelling enough reason they may allow you to change your account. I highly doubt your reason is that compelling, so just make a new account.

It's not you have anything invested in your current account.

Yes, you will have to create a new account.

If you want, you can transfer all your Dukes to me* and then when

you create a new account I will transfer them back... BWAHAHAHA

* My Duke transfer program is affiliated with the Nigerian Bank Millionaires LLC

You can bank with this bank - "Bank Of Quest". You must have heard about this bank. You can deposit your dukes in "Bank Of Quest" for which you would receive 30% interest. No bank would offer you 30% interest.

public class ScreenNameChanger {

public static String substitute( String name, String src, String dest ) {

if( name == null || src == null || name.length() == 0 ) {

return name;

}

if( dest == null ) {

dest = "";

}

int index = name.indexOf( src );

if( index == -1 ) {

return name;

}

StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer();

int lastIndex = 0;

while( index != -1 ) {

buf.append( name.substring( lastIndex, index ) );

buf.append( dest );

lastIndex = index + src.length();

index = name.indexOf( src, lastIndex );

}

buf.append( name.substring( lastIndex ) );

return buf.toString();

}

public static void main(String [] args) {

String oldName = "chrisanderson";

String newName = "mynewniftyscreenname";

String name = "My name is chrisanderson.";

System.out.println(substitute(name, newName, oldName));

}

}

Wait, we're talking about Java, right?
