Request to change username

Is it possible to have my username changed?


I don't recall setting it as this, however, it had to be my doing. It appears to have been a pretty poor decision at the very least.

Pikooo, I understand that you are trying very hard to be helpful - BUT - you are giving some wrong advice at times


In this case, the OP (original poster) is wanting to change their Apple Support Communities UserName.

NO user can change their own ASC username. ONLY the Hosts (moderators) have that capability - which is why we must REPORT their request to the Hosts.

YOU cannot report as yet (a Level 2 privilege).


If you do not understand the user's issue, do not say anything - but DO follow the conversation so that you learn about it.


Post ONLY answers that you have personally tested - recently, as sometimes Apple makes changes since the last time you tested
