This is a test post.

Today I noticed that my posts from yesterday had my old username, **E d’Mann** , and had me as a guest. I have been **Rich Mann** (and a member) for over three years now.

When did you change your name? When I search for all the posts made by **Rich Mann** , I only get three even though in the top right hand corner it says you have 293. But when I search for all posts by **Ed’Mann** it comes up with all 290 of them even though it doesn’t display them in the corner of **Ed’Mann’s** guest name.

Have a note here to merge your old name with your new one; when I attempted to do that the system displayed an error.

Guess you were online when that happened and saw the system attempt to put it all together.

I’ve referred the system problem over to Jerry; when he indicates we have a fix I’ll try it again.
