Username

Your Geek User ID is your login ID for BGG. It is created when you register for BGG and cannot be changed.

NEED NEW GRAPHIC

Starting in 2020 it became possible for admins to change an account username upon request. You can submit a request for a new username via the contact form: https://boardgamegeek.com/contact

Some unusual characters in usernames (i.e. other than letters and digits) cause bugs in various parts of BGG:

Exclamation mark (!) does not work in user= forum formatting code, e.g. [user=TheChin!].

Octothorpe (#) does not work in URLs, e.g. Lemming #5 takes you to user Lemming.
