    For reasons that I would prefer not to mention publicly online, I would like to change my username. Is this possible, or will I have to close my account and set up a new one.

    Sorry if there is another section for this, but I have searched the whole place and I couldn't find it mentioned anywhere.

    You can subscribe to change your name.(more info here).

    If you can read this, you're too close!

    Thanks for the response. Had a look at that, and it costs money that I don't have. I guess the only option is to close the account and set up a new one. Will there be a problem using the same email address on the old account and new one? Is there a period I should wait before re-signing up?

    If you close your account, your email address will still be registered, so you will need to use an alternative email address.
