The answer is: Contact an Administrator. There's no way for a User to change it.

This happened for one of our previous members. Paul (Omicron) was able to change the user name for Al Graaf from shimmer. He also was able to transfer the post history with it. Paul is a wizard with puters, and has helped many of us solve tech issues.

If you only have three posts why not just re-register with the name you want?

We'd rather people didn't do that unless we have no other choice. In this case it's simple for me to fix once he PM's me.

Matt please PM me with your top 3 choices for new screen names, in order of preference. I'll then change your screen name to the highest available one.

Thanks for telling us this.

Now that I know, in the future I will refrain from suggesting it.

We've all been on sites where someone has multiple users ... it's kinda fun to try and set them fighting each other.
