Sorry if this has been asked a thousand times, but who is the correct admin to email to for a change of username? I emailed one, but I am not sure if she’s the right person, for I haven’t got a reply in three days.

Many thanks in advance!

Any admin can handle it. And please remember that some of us have lives outside the boards, so a three day wait is not unreasonable if that person is on vacation or something… one of our mods, f’rinstance, had a computer-crash and is computer-less for a few days.

You can always email two or three, that will increase you chances of faster response.
