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

Same issue here. Somehow I got this weird random string of letters, I can only imagine that at some point I must have keysmashed in a hurry to look at a post. If someone could get me in touch with the mods, I would be very grateful 🙂

The Developer Forums don’t use aliases.

What a strange of going about this, but yes please notify the hosts as I would like to change my randomly fake name on these discussion boards to something a little more human and real. Thanks.
