How can I change my "answers" nickname and retain the same account? I don't recall requesting this one.

Answer 1

Maybe your nickname in your profile has gone..?

Yahoo Answers puts your nickname as you name on here. to change back to Vicky N just changed your nickname in your profile to do this follow these steps

Click "My Account" (you may have to type in your password)
Under Public Profiles click "Edit/Create Profiles"
Then either Create a new profile, or Edit your existing
and Save Changes

Your name on here should change to your newly selected Nickname.

(this is the same answer I posted in Vicky N's question).
