I dont know how I ended up with a username that advertises both my name and city of residence (I would never choose such a name if I knew it would be posted publicly), but for privacy reasons I'd like to set my forum username to something that isn't so personal. Searching the forums has led me to believe that there is no way for users to do this, but that mods might be able to assist me. How can I contact a moderator to request a change of username?
My username was set to this, when I logged in this AM...
I would like it to be senfinger and with a number at the end if needed-
Love how my username has been the same forever and today was a magical server moment!
Thanks,
Stephen
What is the average time to receive a response for the name change? I'm not sure how I will be contacted or what the notice will look like but I would like my user name to become "gsmornot"
Thanks
As we are all other users here, we have no idea how fast or even if the hosts will contact you.
The only thing anyone here can do is to report your request to the hosts. After that, it is their decision on how to proceed.

Before I report this anomaly to our gracious Hosts, please verify that you logged in with your Primary Email Address & Password you have always used for the Apple ID UserName " senfinger " - Join Date July 11, 2015 - AND that it displayed Senfinger1 (Join Date TODAY January 18, 2016) instead with no other actions
I would recommend logging out of Senfinger1 > login again as you normally would for senfinger - then, if joy with senfinger, we will write it off to a VERY weird forum glitch (still reporting it though)
Report back here either way, and I will pull the trigger on the report
I have reported your issue to our Hosts... again
Thanks! Just verified... still no go- cleared cache etc... logged in with my apple ID and BOOM I'm know
I believe it was senfinger with a number on the end... orig- been over 6 months or so since logging in... (I only do when I have a weird Apple isse = )
Thanks to all for your help this AM = )

a search will display results for " senfinger " with ANY suffix here > https://discussions.apple.com/people?query=senfinger&sortKey=all~UserNameAsc&sortOrder=1
there are No Results, so " senfinger " must have a user preference "Online Visibility" switched OFF > https://discussions.apple.com/user-preferences!input.jspa (this ONLY affects the People Search as far as I can tell)
I wish to change my username as it appears in Apple Support Communities. It currently shows my initials and full last name and which also happens to be contained in my e-mail address. I do not want to change, delete, or add any new accounts, information, ID's, etc. Please graciously submit a request on my behalf. Thank you in advance for your efforts.
I'll alert a host to your request.
Thank you for being the overnight "Duty Officer" 😉
You're welcome. Too bad the regular Change Forum Name Forum contributors don't have the power to make the change's ourselves.
What a concept! Junior G-Men?
