    Officially you cannot.   To do so can destroy previous posts and lose your points total, but as you have few points to lose I will report your post to the hosts for their consideration.

    Regards,  71.

    You don't.

     

    Establish a new one. The old one will fade into the archives.

    As given only the hosts can change your user name. Creating a new profile is one approach, but it presupposes you have access to another email address to use for it. Not everybody has or wants to create multiple email addresses. In earlier versions of the forum software changing the user name was a more involved task than it is with the current version. If you don't hear anything as a result of seventy one's report in the next few days let us know.
