Hi retrolady. I have played around with this as I noticed it acting funny. When when this feature was first added it would make names like AItOawkBD3us24dG6CiBXirwb3GZRMs63Gav7ck (as seen when I quote your reply here.)
Anyway, here is what happened. When you sign in using your yahoo or google account, first it asks you to sign in to that account (if not already). Then it asks for your user name. It looks like this:

This is where you have to create a user name. Unfortunately, it can be skipped and allows posting with no name if you don't fill that in (by returning to the forum instead). If that is done it simply assigns a number as you've got now.
User names cannot be changed. This can only be fixed by making a different account and abandoning the one you have now. If you do not have a different email address you can use, you can sign up for a RetroJunk account that is not connected to other services like yahoo.
Good luck and welcome.
