Help !

Our band has just come up with a new name , and were currently looking at updating our myspace , facebook pages ect .
Problem is , it looks as though you cant change the Web address ie www.myspace.com/ukinnuendo as it is now . ALSO dont think we can change the name display (INNUENDO) which appears at the top of the page . This is a bit of a shame as weve over 30000 page veiws .
Obviousely , if we create a new page - as looks likely - we`ll loose everything ...BUMMER !!
Has anyone else been in this situation - I `m sure someone must have - If so , what do think is the best solution ...

Thanks , Col ..

Does this mean I will be the only Innuendo in the village? Lol
(sorry can't help with the technical stuff Colin, were on at The Fox & Goose tonight if your free)

Cheers,
Innuendo

Col, i don't think you can change the name, but get in touch with MySpace, Facebook etc support and ask them if they can do anything.
If you think about it logically changing your name would lose everything anyway as the links would go to Innuendo.

Just checked oour MySpace and if you click on the "I" next to your Display Name you get this:

"Your Display Name can no longer be changed. If you need to remove excess information from your name, we can make a one-time change if you click here and tell us your current display name, what you need it changed to, and a link to your MySpace profile.
