Seeking moderator assistance to change nickname

Thanks a lot IdrisSebright, it is indeed the idea, I saw the change and that’s perfect, unfortunately my previous username is still the one for which I am pursued and should be removed in these 2 threads (appears 2-3 times).

is there anything you could do please ?

I think I finally understand what you mean. You weren't asking about your user name (at least not directly) but rather with content of the posts themselves. I've reported your concerns.

Given the age of the threads, if no one has approached you with rights concerns yet, it's unlkely that they will. But I'm sure the hosts will get to it in due time.

I have notified a moderator for you.

I have reported your request to the Hosts. I believe they will not set your username to be your full name anymore.

Posts are only editable by the original poster for 30 minutes after posting. You cannot edit those posts now. Since this is a copyright issue, you should contact Apple Support directly. The link below provides a phone number that may be helpful.

Contact Apple Support - Apple Support

As we are just another Apple users in this forum, we cannot help with the complexity of your issue.

This is getting horribly confusing and time consuming. From what I can tell you we are talking about duplicates of two different topics. You had one topic about changing forum username with multiple threads (this one and the one to which I provided a link in my post), and another one two threads about iPhoto (you provided those links above). Now you are talking about another set of duplicates (neither of which I can find) talking about copyright, though copyright of what and in what context I have no idea.

I was just telling Carol B that there is another thread that already has a dozen posts talking about username changes and finding missing threads and it just isn't worth posting anything more here or we are duplicating effort.

I have 2 thread where I need to edit some text due to copyright problem (my nickname).

How could we do that, I can't mention here the name to remove, but the posts are:

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/251267600?sortBy=rank

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/251267611?page=2&sortBy=rank

Assuming that FlyOctopus is the new, current user name, both of those threads have been updated to reflect that.

Indeed, that was something I posted in one of the multiverses. ◔_◔

I have reported this as a duplicate thread that can be removed.

@Carol B.: A lot of this is being discussed in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/256236052?

which is why I reported this thread for deletion.

Apt description!

Hi,

I would like to change my nickname to something else. Rancorm, if it's available, otherwise just set it to my full name on my Apple ID.

Thanks.
