Done, and done. You have your user name, Ted. It appears with your post. The problem is this board sometimes does not allow you to edit when you use a two name user name. You will notice I have LNeumann for this very reason. If others are experiencing the same problem, try changing your user name to a single word. Ted_Fancher might work. Or Ted-Fancher if you like it that way better. Anyone can go into their account and change either their user name or password or e-mail or anything else that is listed there. You do need your original name and password to get in, however.
The password is automatically generated by the board when you first registered and it is sent to you automatically. It is usually quite weird and most people will elect to change it to their dog's name or whatever (You know, that airplane that just wouldn't make the corner like you wanted it to). Once you have registered and gone into your account, check the box where it says remember my password and then do not log off. Just leave when you are ready to leave, only remember to mark all messages as having been read. Then when you return it will give you the new message flag (again, if you have a one word user name. I am not sure it works with everybody with two names.) It should, also, then allow you to edit any message that you have made WHILE YOU WERE LOGGED IN. If you were not logged in when you posted a message, it will not allow you to edit the message. As far as it is concerned, you don't own it.
Hope this helps. If you have any problems, let me know. I can't read your password, but I can change it for you and send you a new one (which you can again change to something else--something you can remember).
