  • I was hoping this new forum would allow me to change my username to a more anonymised one - but no ! I went through the so-called 'proper channels' over a year ago and was totally ignored.
    When I was first a member (years ago) I never imagined being part of a group like this and did not realise I should have chosen a proper username.
