Username vs screen name

Hello,
I just started using DAZ3D recently and found this forum. By default, it set my screen name to the first part of my email address (everything before the @). I don't want this. I tried to change it, but apparently this is not allowed. How do I change my screen name that people see when I post?

Please send a PM to Richard Haseltine with your preferred forum name (and a few alternates, in case it is taken) and he can change it for you.
Thanks. Will do.
I just tried to send a PM to Richard Haseltine. It acted like the message was sent, but there are no messages in my Sent box.
