Anyone know who can help me create a new UserID for this account?  Not just name change...

What do you want to change your userid to?

Hi Fergus, can I get it changed to ChessVariantDemos?  (assuming all the info and variant pages I've written remain)

Since the userid is limited to 16 characters, and ChessVariantDemos has 17, I could not make the change. Note that you have two different IDs on this site, though both are presently the same for you. These are the personid, which is limited to 32 characters, and the userid. The userid is the handle that you use to sign in, and it is also used when you play games on Game Courier. The personid is used to identify you when you post comments or contribute content. This site was using personids before userids were ever a thing here, and the original personids were based on a person's name, such as DavidHowe or FergusDuniho. Userids were meant as shorter handles for signing in. I could change your personid to ChessVariantDemos, though one based on your name would be preferable.
