  I’m a new user on this website so I don’t really now how everything works yet.
  Before I posted or major any major changes, I changed my username because I was displeased with the first one. Today after I replied to someone’s comment, I clicked on my display name out of curiosity but it linked to my old username address. It said “*** is no longer available. The authors have deleted this blog.” Is this supposed to happen? I was sure I marked the box that said to change to match new username and discard the old address.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  First of all, make sure you update your website in your Dashboard>Personal Settings>Account Details.

  If you don’t update it there, your old address will still be linked to your new username. This will change the link in your username on new comments, it won’t update the link in comments you’ve already made.

  That should have been Dashboard>Users>Personal Settings>Account Details.
