Changing my username

For various reasons I think I am going to have to do this. It says in the FAQs that you go to the registration page to do this, but the line with my username in it is not accessible to alteration. Do I simply deregister and start again?

I know that some people on here have done this several times, so no doubt expert advice will be forthcoming!

I'm not sure myself, POGS!

Perhaps the OP doesn't want emails telling her she's had a PM because others have access to her email account and would therefore see her username?

When an email arrives telling you that you have a message, it has a direct link to that message which anyone who picks up the email can get access to. So anyone who has access to your computer can see that message and your username.

I might be getting this wrong too Pogs but I thought Mishap meant that when she gets a private message and a computer generated email comes through to her email box someone else (presumably in her house) and has access to her emails can open it and look at her private business

sorry if I got this all wrong because I m not sure if I ve understood your problem but wouldn't it be easier to change your password for your emails then no one would have access to your business except you

Is it possible to change my username? Have not yet posted but someone has a very similar username to me

Gawd, another 5 year old thread resurrected!

Anyone heard from Jings lately, by the way?
