My user name used to be **ITR Champion**. It is now **ITR champion**. I did not, to my knowledge, do anything that would result in such a change. I’m reasonably sure that the change occured when I paid for a subscription and became a member. However, it seems that my name has been changed in all my previous posts as well.
It’s not that I really care about this, but I’m just wondering whether this has happened to anyone else, and if anyone knows what caused it.

Please email the admins and they’ll have your name restored for you. The change will be reflected globally, i.e. all your previous posts will show the restored name.
I’m not quite sure what could have caused this issue.
