Need to change my username

Hi there.

Unfortunately someone has decided to call themselves Acey (rather than ACEY) and has kicked off by posting about pornography... Its most likely my ex husband.

For this reason I need to change my username.

Could someone please tell me how I would change it?

Thank you!

    If you get in touch with one of the board guides and explain the situation they will change your user name.
    I did this a couple of years ago because my username was too much like my own name.
    Simple and all your old posts are changed to your new username at the same time.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.
  • Hi,

    you would need to contact an administrator have a look here.

    Having read the post, I didnt see anything irregular about it, and theres a few 'Aceys' in the membership list. So im thinking its not your ex at all

    Isn't this a bit premature? The user has made two posts - one wanting a book about yoga and the other a mildly-risque one liner response in an offical MSE Discussion thread about pornography. Surely better to let it go for a few days, and see what happens? Most users stop posting after about 3 posts.....

    At the risk of appearing witty, might I suggest you change your username to DeeSea? (Spelling to taste!)
