 * Not sure where to post this – but is there anywhere I can change my username 
   for plugins and the forums?
 * Thanks.

 * Actually, judging by that post it’s fine on here, just the plugin area then?

 * It’s now a universal login. Your username here is the same as your plugin author
   name. So I guess the short answer would be “no”.

 * Is there no moderators around that would be able to sort it out for a bribe?

 * Heh. It’s not for what you think.
 * The plugins site IS using your name like here, just not the DISPLAY name.
 * [http://profiles.wordpress.org/users/tristarweb](http://profiles.wordpress.org/users/tristarweb)
   see? Login there and see if you can change your display name.

 * I just logged in and managed to change it, however, not sure if it takes a while
   to update? the url is still the same?
 * Getting there though, so thanks Ipstenu!

 * The name on the plugins I THINK depends on what you put in the readme.txt.
