Change username of Apple Support Communities

Hi,

I want to change my username "6547890jhkg" that i use for the Apple Support Communities. I dont know how i got this username but i was in hurry and i wanted to read something on the Apple Support Communities. So at some point i was confronted with a screen where i had to type a username in and i typed random characters on my keyboard. Is it possible to change the username? I heard that it is possible but only moderators can change the username.

P.S.: I dont want to change my Apple ID, i just want to change my strange username which is right now "6547890jhkg"...

Thanks in advance

George

And by the way, I understand protecting the hosts from being contacted by anyone about anything, but isn't this a slightly insane system for fixing username problems?

In the Apple Support Communities Terms of Use you will find the email address for the Hosts in § 1.13 along with language that would encompass someone having a problem with their username

I've reported it to the Hosts. They should be in touch with you by email.

And it has been changed from that quoted in the initial post. In earlier versions of the forum software a username change required a lot more effort. These days we all have a hidden data-user-id which is only associated with an actual username when the page is generated. Change the username in one record and the new username appears everywhere. The hosts seem more amenable to requests to change usernames these days. You know how to get in touch with them if you really want a change.

How do you get in contact with them to ask for a username change?
