How do I change the Username in Linuxquestions.org?

Thanks.

I think that it some cases Jeremy will change it for you. You should perhaps contact him and ask.

right, Jeremy has said in the past that it's not a real hassle on his end, but that it's kind of rare. I think he looks for a good reason to change it, but I think he's pretty leneint. The thing is though, once you change your username, noone will recognize you any more. That's the reason I decided against changing mine.

microsoft/linux summed it up quite well...

Jeremy,

I am fairly new, so peaople really do not know me. I would like you to change my username from "akpadhi@hotmail.com" to just "akpadhi". I do not like my email address showig up everytime.

Thanks.

as stated above, you might consider contacting him directly, as this is not an issue that concerns the rest of the forums. Just a thought.

Yep, just send him a nice email asking him to change it to what you want and your reasons for that.
