Changing the LQ user name.


Hi:
Is it possible to change one's user name? As I see it, it is not. But I could have missed something. It is because of the latter, that I ask for your help, and that I regret having to steal your time. Regards,

Enrique.

The only way to change your name is to email Jeremy directly and request it (giving the reasons for wanting a name change).

Due to your post I have been able to replace my username, which is what I wanted to do. Being sent a mail by root to one's personal mail box is quite an experience. Thanks XavierP.

Enrique.
