Oops! Does anyone know if there's a way to change my username?

Agh! I am not trying to advertise where I work but I think somehow the knot chose this username for me based off of my email address. I wasn't even done filling out the sign in information part, and the next thing I know is, I've got a new account I wasn't ready to create right away.

I wanted to ease my way into this being that, I am on the verge of being engaged, or so I am hopeful, but believe it's never too early to start. Ha!

Does anyone know if there is a way I can change my username to something cute and girly like?

If not I will have to create a whole new account and open up a new email address as well, but I will do it if I have to!

I don't want to be accused of promoting where I work, but can't help it. Gosh, I know this looks really bad. 

Any ideas? I am sooooo not internet savvy! AYUDA ME PLEESE!

    Hello world. I am retiring this name in fear that I will get into trouble with my username expressing "catering" in it. Plus, I don't like people knowing where I work and stuff like that, so yeah Hello it was nice being here for a bit. Didn't get to engage in fun conversation, but will be back soon as something sweet and dainty, if I can think of anything at all.

    See ya soon!

    You're the same person who was advertising "bartering services" for your own wedding/then your MOH's wedding/Design company/Old Wold Glamour wedding. I wasn't born yesterday.

    PLEASE STOP. Please go away, your posts have become annoying and I'm tired of seeing them. Craigslist is your one stop shop for everything you're trying to sneak through.

    It even says that you joined the knot on 8-17-2009 so you didn't just make this "mistake".

    sheaday, i dont think this is the same person. And people join long before they start posting.

    OP, you have to create a whole new account.

    Sheaday, no sorry that would be me, the one you want to go away. With the supposed ads that hopefully have now been cleared up with the rest of this board, who was very angry with me at first. And sure I could see why. You had valid reasons. I just hope I explained myself well enough. I am the one with the Old Hollywood wedding.

    Maybe she joined in a while back and is now ready to become active? She doesn't have any info in her profile yet. Why are you trying to throw new people out before giving them a chance? Just block someone if you don't want to see what they have to say.

    Everyone who wants to give here should feel welcomed and entitled to do so.

    Yes, it is the same person. Her name was Christina as well. Plus, the person advertising the Hollywood wedding/bartering ads was also a part of Me So Hungry Catering- they even said so here (she said that she was providing the catering for her friend) and also on Craigslist where I saw a post with the same stuff.
     
    I'm not trying to "throw new people out" but you and that other person has caused confusion and just spam in general. Whatever. I come to these boards to look for valid info and to read other people's experiences. I think I'll just go to the main boards from now on.

    This is exactly how I feel. I think just recently did this board get crazy with vendors. I don't even like to check this board anymore, until they're gone I'm sticking with my month board.

    Under the thread titled "Anyone done/doing a Old Hollywood Glamor wedding?" The username of thazenith@yahoo posted this:

    "What we are willing to trade is unlimited in exchange for your items: Our professions may be of use to you in the following areas:- professional residential/commercial interior design... If you or someone you know has access to helping us out please do not hesitate to contact us direct at #512-659-5744 please ask for Christina."

    If you google that phone number, the second link on the page will take you to a match of Ventana Interiors and Design.

    The third and fourth links match a phone number to Me So Hungry Asian Fusion.

    What are the odds that the phone number posted in the thread from thazenith@yahoo.com also matches Me So Hungry AND an interior design company??

    Same person, same advertisers, same spam.

    There was also a thread titled "Magical Marriages or affordable wedding coordinater?" where thazenith@yahoo.com posted the following comment:

    "I hired Christina Alfonso of Me So Hungry- Asian Fusion Catering & Special Events. Though her position did not begin with wedding coordinating, she ran an interior design firm and now creates design themes for brides to be. I will admit I was hesitant when hearing she had only coordinated a handful of weddings, but I found that she had great references and is very hands on and vocal about coordination and planning."

    I remembered it when I saw these posts because I thought that was an interesting name for a catering business.

    I don't have the energy to read the novels that have been written as explanations of why thazenith@yahoo.com, Me So Hungry, and/or Christina Alfonso are not the same person since that's not why I visit this board in the first place, but it looks to me as if those arguments insult the intelligence of those of us who try to use this board to get ideas and have a productive conversation about planning our weddings.  I would encourage anyone who has constructive suggestions and questions to feel welcome on this board, but please do not clog up the boards with more fake posts under yet a third Knot user ID or I am going to stop coming to this board altogether.  And, don't feel compelled to write me a novel responding to this because I'm not going to read it.

    not to mention the fact that if you're trying to change your user name, post about changing your darn user name.  don't give me your whole employment history.  why bring it up (repeatedly) that it's the place of your employment? 

    tired of spammers (and their novels), but love you all the other girls who are on here and are full of great ideas & advice.

    I didn't realize that. Thanks for the heads up. I asked KA if we could have a moderator here, and even volunteered for the position, but I haven't heard anything since her initial response that she would look into it.
