I would like to change my user name please?

I am sorry if i am posting in wrong place, but a bit of a computer numpty.

It has occured to me though that it may be best to change my user name since I can not be identified. The STBX will recognise my writing style, if not some facts I have let slip out today when a bit upset. I really DO have to be more careful what I say on here.

I do not know how to change my user name though. I do not wish previous contacts from really nice Wikis not to recognise me. And also, as a little mouse here, with no self confidence at all and physically ill, to loose my new status as a gold boarder - this means a lot to me that I have posted so much to offer support to others on this wonderful site.

So how do I do this - I think its a moderator who can help out here. Because I was upset today, I let slip about the criminal case. Being crim, you all know I can not speak about it. And certainly not publicly on here.

So my question is, does anyone know, moderators, Wiki Team members, how to change my user name? I am sorry to be such a numpty, re computers, but I am getting on a bit age wise, so please bear with me.

Thank you.

Click on the ''update my profile'' link in the top right, then click the username tab and type in a new name. You''ll retain your details and gold boarder status.

I''m not 100% clear but I think that it only changes your username for the future, not for posts you''ve already made so it would be difficult to tie ''the new you'' to your old posts.

You can''t delete your posts, though a moderator could do this for you. Alternatively go back and edit them, or just delete all the content of them using the edit function.

Best wishes

Let me know which posts you would like to be deleted (send me a PM). If you are still having problems changing your user-name, let me know and I can help

Changing your username changes it on all posts, including past ones. However you can''t change the fact that people may have replied to you using that name - though someone would have to be quite determined in trawling through to find it.

Laters then and thanks again.

Cat urine on the carpet is a real real pain. Our cat had bladder stones and did lots and I had real trouble getting rid of it. But this works:

You need to check first that it won''t bleach the carpet.
