First, go back and read the Rules, Policies and Disclaimers (http://www.pcguide.com/cgi-bin/Ultimate.cgi?action=agree) you agreed to when you registered your user name. It states in part

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise violative of any law. You agree not to post any copyrighted material. All postings submitted become the property of the owners of the forum.

I have little doubt that applies to the user name itself as well, and the one I see on this post will not work. This is a public forum, viewed by people all over the world, from every walk of life and every religion you can think of. Many of those people take their religious convictions seriously and will be offended by that kind of language. My mother reads the forums now and then, and although she's heard and occasionally uses profanity, she feels that it is not appropriate on here, same as many other people do.

Change the user name to something acceptible, you'll have to register another one since it can't be changed, and repost your question.

HTML will not work either, only UBB code. You'll find links to descriptions of what the UBB codes are and how to use them on the left when you post a message. Look for links that say "click for details".

Do not post another message using that user name, or one containing more profanity, it will not be tolerated on this forum.
