Who do I talk to...

[Yinisanalterego]

...about getting my username changed?

"Yinisanalterego" doesn't exactly roll of the tongue; I only chose it because simply "Yin" wasn't allowed (too short), and I didn't want to go with something like "Yin_".

I know I can make a new account, but I don't want to resubmit my stories (admittedly, largely because I don't want to lose the good comments they received.)

I was hoping a moderator, or someone, could help me out.


Yours,

Yin.

"How can I change the information in my profile?
It is your responsibility to keep the information in your profile up-to-date. You should especially ensure that your email address is kept current. You can alter any of the fields in your profile, except your username. Once you have registered your username, it becomes yours for life. In extreme circumstances, you may request that the administrator change your username, but he or she will require a very good reason to do so."

Just a note if you're worried about resubmitting your story under your new name (if they allow a change): Anything you have posted or submitted under your current name will stay under that name. However, if someone does a search under your new name (eg "find all posts by user) it should still lead them back to what's under your current name also.

Hope that was confusing enough.

It's not the information in my profile that I have issues with; that's all up to date (now. ). It's my username that bugs me. It always has; I chose it as a spur-of-the-moment thing, but never really liked it. Now I have a new one all picked out (YinByNight; Catchy, no? ), but I can't change it. :/


Thanks, Lauren; I'll try that.
