change name, change URL

jessally says:

i tried to change my URL (i want it to be different from my profile-name), but it doesn't work and flickr doesn't answer my mail.
So one question: if i change my profile-name: is the URL new automatically? Thanks!

No, jessally, while it is possible to change your nickname anytime you want, it is not possible to change your URL, once it is set.

There is some more about this in the FAQ: www.flickr.com/help/account/#170
