Name changing

If you change your name on here (as I do regularly to maintain anonymity) can your posts under previous names still be linked to you? I'm guessing not but people keep mentioning the advanced search option and wondered what it meant?

MNHQ will be able to link all your name changes but if I do an Advanced Search for FredBloggs, it will only show posts made by FredBloggs and not posts they made when they were called AlbertBear.

Hi OP

They'll only see posts under that one username - your namechanges are private!
