Membership upgrade question...

So I just upgraded my monthly supporting membership to a yearly supporting membership mainly because the upgrade page said if you upgrade you could "change your username up to 5 times" and I kinda want to change it. I've used the search function and checked every forum I could think of. I went to my profile page and saw where you can change your signature and avatar but not the username. Specifically how do I do this? I didn't want to bother Paul.

It actually doesn't matter if you're on monthly or yearly supporting membership plan - both have equal benefits. The link to change your username is sort of hidden. Pull down your user menu to Personal Details, then on that page you'll see it:

Aha! At first I thought your screen shot was from a desktop version cause I still didn't see that menu. Checked and there's no such thing as a mobile version (which is cool btw). So I turned my phone sideways and...BAM. There it was:facepalm:. It disappears in portait mode. Must be an android thing. Thank you, sir.

For future reference, it's the same on iPhone as well. It's quite hidden, but if you tap on the blue "accounts" header while in portrait mode, it will drop down a menu of all the options that are normally in the sidebar, in landscape/desktop mode.
