One a year.... and the short answer is that it is very confusing.

You can change it once a year. In my case, I left for a couple of years, and when I came back, I couldn’t log back into my old account.

Yeah, I've been here four years? and I've change my name once.

I wonder if I can eventually earn an award for having had the most username changes. Do I need to change it more?

It was a feature users bugged us about for ages, so Tibs caved with the once a year caveat.

You can change your user name up to once a year (365 days), unless there are exigent circumstances. For three months following a name change, the forum displays your prior name beneath the new one in order to give people time to adjust to the new name. In addition, you can go to a user's profile and where it says "username changes," click on the number, and it will give you a list of that user's prior user names.

I am glad to see so many familiar names posting here.

I don't know what you're talking about.

What happens when I touch the large hadron collider while it's creating dark matter? Will I gain powers that let me utilize the speed force? Will it explode in a shower of dark matter and eliminate my enemies? You can't just say not to touch it, because now I am too curious what will happen when I touch the LHC...

*slowly reaches hand toward the LHC*

(Also, worth pointing out that twice while trying to type hadron, I nearly misspelled it as hardon, and my curiosity is taking me to dangerous places again... so I had to use the acronym instead)
