[MsMila]

Hey...my old user name is still in here, can i change the old user name to my new one?
My email address has been long dead, so i couldn't get the password reset email, so I had to register again

What was your old user name Mila? I could change the address on the old user name too, to be a functional one.

Is it possible to change my user name from blissfulshelley, to speshe? I'd like to keep my profile exactly as it is, but switch to the user name i use in most other places, without having to start over on the forums. If not, that is ok too!

Hi Shelly yes it is possible I will do that now and send you an email to confirm it.
