I accidentally registered with a wrong LiveID from work Sad

Now I can't get my account name for my real ID even if I "deactivate" it here

We really only use Username on this version except on a user's profile page. We've built the functionality to allow users to change their own username but it hasn't been pushed up live yet. There was a bit of a snag last week - we had to make it work with VS Achievements which is tied to username but that was fixed so I would expect it to be pushed up live soon. In the meantime, you can email us with your old username and what you would like it to be changed to.

We can move your LiveID association from the temporary account back to the old account and delete the temporary account. Hope that makes sense.
