@emcraft Please see the instructions in How to: Change your Cruise Critic Email Address or User Name. In your case, you will need to include both user names and Cruise Critic email addresses of record. The two would be merged together into one account under one of the names of your choice. That way you will have not lost your actual total post count. Be sure to mention which user name and email address of record you want to keep, since user name accounts cannot be deleted only merged. After your user name accounts are merged, all your previous posts with the other user name will then have your chosen user name. However, any previous quotes of your posts now in other member's posts will appear with your user name at the time of the quote. I hope this will be helpful! Happy sails, Host Kat
