Would like to change my user name on site.
Started on this site a few years ago and not really knowing what I was doing I set myself up using my name as my user name. I really would like to change that. Can I do it or should I just cancel this acct and set up another? Thanks for your help.

John, when Al (formerly shimmer) changed his profile to Al Graff he was able to get the accumulated posts transferred to his new Identity. Don't know if Paul (omicron) had something to do with that. Might be worth a Q to him? I know it's not something that the site wants to promote for the sake of changing names or it would be a nightmare of administrative issues. I think Al's was done as a one time exception.

Yes this is the way. Paul (Omicron) is the only one who knows how to link your existing posts to a new account user name but if you really don't need those on your new account just start another.
