Change Forum Username

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?

people page is not working right

Charlie R finds no matches

when one substitutes that string into a URL that would show the username UNused (a not found page), we find Charlie R IS in fact taken - as is several variants of it using punctuation and special characters allowed

discussions.apple.com/people/Charlie R

discussions.apple.com/people/CharlieR

discussions.apple.com/people/Charlie_R

discussions.apple.com/people/Charlie R.


I suggest that you might play around with the URL instead of relying on the (obviously UNreliable) people page until you find something you can live with


It may be that our gracious Hosts will contact you via email later rather than sooner since it is a holiday weekend. You could be ready with a 2nd choice when they do.
