In short, everything you do is indexed in the data base to your user name... Changing your name in the Forum is like trying to change your SSN Number. To do it messes up the DB BADLY.. So the ONLY way to change your user name is to start a BRAND NEW ACCOUNT with your NEW USERNAME.... <takes a deep breath... feels better now, grumble grumble grumble>
