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?
I also would like my alias changed. It's my full name and I'd prefer to not have that displayed...
I have alerted our gracious Hosts of your request

I have had my account for 2 years but it has only now come to my attention that my display username contains my real name. I would also like to know how to modify my forum username for privacy reasons. Could somebody please assist?
Thanks
I have alerted the hosts to your reuest.
Thank you! Will it be changed to something random or will I be asked to select a new username?
You're welcome. I believe the host will contact you by email as to what you would like it changed to.
Out of curiosity:
You and a couple of other posters have stated that your username is your full name?
No one here sees anything but - in this case: cc453 - your username. Your Apple ID (which is your email address) is visible only to you unless you wish to reveal it. If you click on your name/avatar, you can choose 'edit profile and privacy'.
This will show you this:
This info is necessary for Apple to be able to identify you as you.
If you will then choose Privacy Settings, you can choose to display as much or as little info you you want:
For instance, I've chosen not to reveal anything; in that case, the only thing showing is my username which is displayed. My full name/email are only displayed to myself and Apple.
Need to change mine (this) as well as I was logged in to wrong Apple account. As a developer, I sometimes have access to customer's... :/
I have alerted the hosts to your request.
I would also like to change my username to something else. If someone can help me out? Thank you.
I have alerted our Hosts to your post. I don't know what will happen next. - ÇÇÇ
I was unaware that I was logged into any iCloud account when I entered a username to view a forum post. This username, "qcqc" needs to be deleted from the iCloud account it is on, or at the least changed to something else. Thanks.
I don't believe you are logged into any iCloud account when you enter a user name.
That depends on whether or not his Apple ID email address is a .mac, .me, .icloud - then he would be (I believe).
Thank you. To be on the safe side I sent the request in.
