Does the search feature still follow your old posts under your old username. IOW, if I changed my username to something else, and they clicked on "find other posts by this user" will it find my old posts? I have a sneaky suspicion that somebody at work knows my username and might be tracking my posting.

Conversely if somebody searched for the username Ranger would they be taken to my new posts under my new username?

I can't stand the person, whom i suspect and I don't want him reading anything i post. :mad:

hmmm I believe the posts are indexed with the old username. At least the old version of vbulletin was. I remember searching for something by konaworld and ended up having to search under his old danka name.

I looked up Serpico's posts and they extend back into his glory days of being Ziggurat.

Yup. Your best bet is to close your current account, and open a new one. I'll move the red star over for you, just let me know. :)
