Hi Rich, unfortunately I don't think this can be done through the forum software, you would have to set up a new user account. I could have a look at the backend database for you and change it manually, but I'm not sure what the knock on effects might be. I'll have a look at the weekend and let you know.

Sorry for going a bit off-topic but user names that people have all over the Internet can be very funny and/or interesting. I've also long wondered if there is a Dorothy Dot that uses dot.com as her user name and has a website site address dotcom.com?
