Can user name be changed please? I have spelling errors in mine, which I shall not be able to remember. Either drunk or typos,
and I would very much like to change the spelling or the name entirely.
Many thanks

Is this your forum username or your main account username?
If it's your forum name then you can simply use this link to change the display name.
If it's your main account name then this is a far more tricky beast to do.

If you want to PM me what you want it changing to, I'll sort the display name out for you.

A bit puzzled.
If I go to http://community.plus.net/forum/index.php?action=profile;sa=account it would appear that the display name may be modifiable.
No - I am not going to try.
Edit - link made general

I can confirm the display name is modifiable. I know because that over there <--- is not my username

I know what I've done ;), I linked you to my profile and that caused the problem. Try this link instead.

Anyone can update their own display name, however I've said in a previous reply that I'd be happy to do it from a PM
