to ask how you change your username back to your regular one?

[patriciapractical]

or has it gone for ever?

not so practical

I hate this name.

I NC once (but them wussed out of posting the thing I NC for) and I was able to change back in exactly the same way that I changed in the first place, I just went into "my account" and changed it.

There's a list in your account of your previous usernames. You can use any one them or choose a new one.

When you name change, do all your previous posts stay with your old name, or does your new name get attached to everything you have posted?

The posts stay as the name you had when you posted them. I'm not sure if you're still highlighted as OP if you post on the same thread under a new name though.

You're not highlighted as OP, I noticed that when someone updated their name recently.

You will appear to be highlighted but only to your eyes. Nobody else will know if you post on your own thread under a namechange.

Thanks
