If a Mod can't help you, one other option would be to re-register with a new user name.

Send a private message to Steve (dm_fan) and ask for his assistance. He is one of the PY administers and should be able to help you. None of us moderators will be able make the change that you are requesting.

Re-registering with a different user name from the same IP address will get you banned.

Read the rules.

Hi
Sorry but we are not allowing any username changes anymore. Like all good things, we've had people who've abused the privilage and caused us problems in the past. So we were forced to not allowing username changes for existing members.

Sorry
Steve

When I joined PY in 04, I had my 78 Silver Ann. Vette, I was looking for a Pontiac, TA to be specific, I found it in 04, but have had to live my PY years with a Vette user name.
I do understand not allowing the username change, just wish I'd thought more about it before picking my name.
