Hi, I'd like to change my username (to protect myself, I found my postings in this forum when I googled)
How can I do that?

User Names/IDs:
* Please be very careful about choosing your ADD Forums Username. Your user name will show up in all posts you make in the public ADD Forums areas. Your username will also appear in search engines like Google.Piaszw, a change in username will not change the fact that usernames will appear in search engines.Most posts in the public areas can also be read by the general public without registering at ADDF as well.The ONLY way to prevent this from happening is to post strictly in the Private forums, which require passwords to access.

Should have read that earlier... :(

but a different username would obscure my identity more. At the moment, its not a problem, as I'm a PhD-student, but as soon as I apply with a company, it might be risky.

By all means, contact administration and request a change in username if you feel the need to do so to stay as anonymous as possible. The worst they can do is say "noe" right? Give it a try.:)

how do i contact adminitration?

You may contact an Administrator by private message for matters of this nature. Administrators can be identified by their Red name. Administrators include myself, Andi and Kimalimah. Please do not post name-change requests on the open forums.
