    Admin can change your name, but it appears you have 2 accounts? One as BMW and one as Brian Mahoneys Waist.

    Yes you have 2 accounts which have different email addresses attached - I guess you somehow switched to using the old one
    if you logout and log back in as BrianMahoneysWaist that should fix it
    if you forgot the password as long as the email address is still valid you can request a password reset
    if you no longer use that email thats a bit more of a problem if you forgot the password as I cant change it to the one used for BMW as thats also current send me a dm in that case

    There is already a poster called @thetykester as you pointed out
    If its really important to you I can change West Mids Tyke to WM Tykester but you cant do it yourself
    if you really want to make the change I will do it for you but isnt it going to confuse people a bit who are already familiar with your name
