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?

Yeah, well, _awesome_😠

I just followed a google search result to the forums, didn't think i was logged in, the system asked me for a username, i thought "screw it, i just want to see the thread, take me there!" and now i ended up with this "username" seemingly _forever_. Using/creating another Apple-ID is out of the question!


I will bear this "username" with pride for everyone to see how stupid this system is (and the fact that one can't easily change it) 😉

You're welcome.

In the interim, you might do your due diligence about a "choice"

  1. search here is UNreliable (unfortunately) but the journey of a 1000 steps and all that
    https://discussions.apple.com/people
  2. After finding NO matches there, substitute your choice into this URL to test
    discussions.apple.com/people/ChitlinsCC
    If you get a "not found" page, you are good with your choice

We look forward to your story 🙂
