Hi Goober1960
 
If you click on your username to the right of the thumbnail avatar in the top right hand corner of any page, and then select 'My Settings' that will display the first settings page for your profile...and there you will see your username displayed in an editable field.  Change it to what you would like to and then click 'Change username' to have it validated for uniqueness, in which case it will be changed...et voila.
 
May I counsel about making such a change too often...it is not against any Community rule that I know of...it just does not look too god if it happens too often.
 
Hope that helps?
 
Regards, Baldrick

Thanks, man! I was having problems when I created my account, and I'm afraid I allowed my emotional distress to dictate my initial username, MadAsDamnedHell. That's not a message I want to send. Now I have a more sane "handle," thanks to you.
