I’m being nagged to sign up for an account. I can’t do this since the Forum has mixed up my user name and my real name. My real name is Brian Prentice and my user name is bprentice.

Can you give us some more information?

It seems like you already have signed up and your username is bprentice.

When I attempt to enter my Username and correct my Name, I’m prevented from doing so.

Sorry, should have clarified: can we see a screenshot of it preventing you from entering the username you want?

Tony,

 ![junk](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/processingfoundation1/original/2X/5/5d8e36e647a12d2738060fd55d557eae61fd70b0.jpeg)

This is becoming tiresome. Do you have the ability or the authority to correct this problem?
