This question will be added to the FAQs file, folks.

Someone asked if it's possible to change their ID without changing
their ID. Huh? What's that mean? Well, let's suppose I wanted to
call myself olivezoo instead of olivestarlightorchestra. First I'd go
into Edit My Membership (up on the dark blue bar above the message
board). Then I'd click Add New Profile (next to the profile selection
window near the top).

I now create/edit my new profile as I like, but I always make sure to
UNCHECK the Directory Listing at the bottom 'cause I don't want to be
inundated with spam.

Click the grey Create Profile button to return to Edit Memberships
page. Now I scroll down the Yahoo Profile selection window to the one
I want.

Yahoo apparently lets you have up to five aliases. Try not to abuse
it.
