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?

Good evening thread; seems like I'm the latest to return here to make a post and be surprised that my full name is my username- honestly no idea if something has changed, I misunderstood how the name would be displayed, or I was just that much less privacy savvy whenever I made this account many years ago.


I'd be grateful if someone could alert the powers that be so I could possibly get it changed to 'slicesoflight', which seems to be free as https://discussions.apple.com/profile/slicesoflight doesn't return a profile.

Thanks!
