I don't think you can change your username right now since you can only do that every six months, but you haven't been a member here for even one month.

What do you mean by links with your old username?

let's say i just changed to a new username (which i haven't duh) would the links with my (old) username work. like at the bottom of the layouts it would say the username of the person who submitted it? cuz i read that it wouldn't work/change, is it true? & what else doesn't work if i change my username?

synesthesia - you can change your name right after you sign up, but won't be able to for another 6 months. i did it.

rockguy - none of your old links will work, but the database will update to display your new user name. it took a few days for my layouts to be updated to my new name. the only problem i ran into was that on my layouts i was putting a credit link back to my old cB user name, so i had to go back through and change those.
