OK guys, I know this is a softball, and it’s probably listed somewhere, but I can’t find it. How do I change my username. Please don’t flame me for my ignorance.

Thanks in advance.

Anything like this goes in About This Message Board.

You need to contact TubaDiva. A link is at the bottom of that forum.

Ahh, gotcha. I knew it’d be an easy one. Thanks Harmonious Discord. Now if someone can flag this thread, a mod is welcome to close it.

Actually the thing to do is email TubaDiva at [TUBADIVA@aol.com](mailto:TUBADIVA@aol.com)

That said. I will move this thread from to About This Message Board, just so it’s in the right place, and then close it.
