Q: 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?

Could I request a forum username request change too, stupidly picked this one whilst not realising I was logged in under my personal account.

Could I request change from dudebro88 to DBoard please.

Many thanks.

My son was logged into his Apple ID on a separate tab, but for some reason it created a username for my Apple ID. Can I have mine changed?

I'd also like to request a username change, I created this account way back in the day and didn't realize i couldn't change it later and of course my tastes have since changed.
