I don’t think you can; if you could delete an account the database would “go all weird”, as it were, because there would be posts without a poster, as it were. An administrator might be able to do it, depending on how the forum works…

Rest assured a user takes up very little server space, and your posts will be around for future generations to learn from. Ah, karmic goodness.

Try deleteing all your cookies and temp files then log back in under your other name.

I ran into the same kind of thing.
There are two different logins: one available on the “forums” page and one on the “home” page. From my experimentation the two logins are partially linked and partially not linked.

I forget what I finally came up with. Try various orderings of logging out from the “forums” page before or after “Log in as different user” on the “home” page.
