Change Forum Username

I've alerted the hosts to your request.

I too am a bit confused. I never, until commenting on these forums recently, have been even remotely aware of having a 'username' with the "mynamefrommycity" pattern, and I most certainly NEVER would have selected such a ludicrously unsecure name to begin with, especially if I knew it was going to appear in public online forums! I would very much appreciate the chance to change this. However, I'm really only interested in how my information (name) appears on THESE FORUMS. If changing my username is going to also require me to change/relogin to all my accounts that use my apple id, i'd rather you just delete my posts from these forums and be done with it. I can't understand why apple would think the default setting for how your name appears in these forums should be one lacking in privacy as much as these generic "mynamefrommycity" handles.

I have alerted our gracious Hosts to your post... yours is not the first claim of a username being chosen FOR you, but it is not my experience in testing that it is any more than "suggestions" at that step of registering here.

We'll see - let us know

I would also like to change my username as there is an account security issue involved. I never thought of the issue when I chose the username but I can see now that it was not a good idea.

I'll alert the hosts to your request.

Thank you, bobseufert.

You're welcome. I sent the request in. It's up to the hosts now.

Your "R-E-Q-U-S-T" keys must be getting worn out. 😁

I'm hoping to have my own sub-catagory. ASC> Using Apple Support Communities> User name requests> Bob, CCC, Klaus, Ethan, and too many friends too mention. 🙂

I didn't realize, the lightning quick hosts have already changed the user name.

Thank you lightning quick hosts.

That's not such a bad idea. 😀

Thank you. Once you're CEO of this little computering company I think we'll see some real change. 🙂

AlohaBob... my last report about j****fromlakewood remains unchanged(?) - maybe j**** isn't answering his emails. OR... you have way more influence is more likely😉

Methinks it's my unfailing politenest and always remembering to say Thank You with my requests.

Or the hosts hope I get my own sub-catagory so I leave them alone.

Let's give the hosts time to think about lakewood's request.

You did it my good man. Well done.

It should look like this:
