Hi Gordon

Not that importand but i would like to let you know.
I logged in with google. It created user85862. When i click on "edit Profile" changing the username to "sacha" does not work.

Can you try logging out and then logging in via email address using your @i--.ch email address? That'll keep your old user and old posts.

The forum works based on email account name and the gmail one will be different I guess. It's refusing to rename the new user because an old one with the same name already exists.

It's based on your email address - looks like you haven't made any posts (apart from this one) with this account right now, so maybe just sign out and log in with your original email address?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
