Hi Pete

You cant change your actual account name, that will allways be Mainecherry, but you can change your Username, which is the one that appears on all your posts. So you can change your user name from "Back40" to "Back40x2". We discourage people from changing their names all the time as it's hard to know who you are talking to, but a minor change like that, or one made for a good reason is no problem.

Ian,

I tried that, but it would not let me change it completely to BACK40x2, that is my actual name for my sawmill operation. I will try again.

Thanks
Pete

Hmmm... Seems you are right :P

Jeff is away for the day, maybe he will be able to shed some light on this when he gets back online

ONe reason may be that you have a Userid (account name) already that is "Back40x2). Perhaps the software is smart enough to not allow two instances of the same name. ;D :)

Check out the Members List and you will see what I'm talking about. :)
