Sometimes the problem with one of us reporting this for you instead of you doing it yourself is the moderators will then just change it to a name they come up with, not one you requested. If you find you already have one assigned by the hosts without consultation then contact the hosts with a name or two you would like. Getting a new community name is a bit of an exception so choose one that you like permanently.


You can contact the hosts by email here —> communityaccounts@apple.com

There is no need to be concerned. Sometimes, when the hosts change a username, they use a temporary username. It appears that your username is now "itsmemikkiv."


If you were not asking about your forum username, please give more details about what you meant. Screenshots are good.
