Changing displayed researcher name?

Ok, I can not get all my old information back from that ID but can I change the displayed researcher name back to what I had? It used to be : Ducky, Saint & Muse of Waterfowl
What do I need to do to change it?
Thanks

You should see a "Retrieve my details" link at the top of the page. The process is somewhat tedious (and also risky to judge by the number of people who accidentally make new IDs when all they are trying to do is login or change some detail!).

I have gone into that section many times and can only change a few things and the displayed Researcher name is not one of them. I think I am lost.

A quick look around suggests this might be quicker if it works:

If you just want to change the name that appears onsite (ie in your postings etc) and not alter your log in details then going to the 'preferences' option on your personal space will allow you to do that

I had looked in the preferances section before but never read all the fields........ My fault. Thanks for the help.
