Answer 1

The only way to easily change your login name on Yahoo Groups is to create a sub-account/sub-profile under the main profile you use.  To do this, log in to http://members.yahoo.com/ , then click View My Profiles near the upper-right-hand corner.  Then click the Create New Public Profile button near the center of the page.  Enter the new user name you want in the first box on the resulting page.  Fill in any of the other boxes that you would like to appear when someone views this new profile of yours.  Don't forget to click the Create Profilebutton when you're done.

Then go to the home page of the Group where you would like to use this new profile instead of your main one.  Then click on Edit Membership near the middle of the top line (just below the ad if there is one).  Then, in the Yahoo Profile sub-section (under Step 1 Your Contact Information), select the new profile you just created.  Don't forget to click the Save Changes button near the lower-right-hand corner when you're done.
