I hope this is the correct place to ask this question.

Is it possible to delete an account I had earlier?

I registered under a different name and email, but due to a mail problem, I never received the confirmation email. So I re-registered with the name I am presently posting with, but with a yahoo email address, because I have already 'used up' the email address I wanted to register with.

If my old account could be deleted, then I could change my email in my profile.

(I have emailed ghb@uwm.edu a couple of times but have not received a response, possibly because that is not the proper place to send problems such as these.)

In friendship,

Thank you Greg.

If it is not an inconvenience for you, the pruning of pradtf account would be appreciated.

Then I could change my email address and setup email notification of posts, so that I don't have to remember which threads I have posted in.

Many thanks for this information.

In friendship,
prad

Homework Statement: Not applicable. I'm asking about a technical problem with the PhysicsForums software Relevant Equations: \left(-2+2 \,\mathrm{I}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}} \left(-2+2 \,\mathrm{I}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}} I posted the LaTeX code for an expression in the "relevant equations" and "attempt at a solution" boxes. When I'm in the "attempt at a solution" box and I click "Preview," I do not see a preview of the expression properly displayed, only the code. After I post this message...
