Change my username on this forum

Hello, I really want to change my username on this forum but I don’t seem to be able to on my profile, can someone help me with that please?

I went to that page but the username is not changeable :slight_smile:

Ah, so right! Sorry! I actually want to change mine too. I think we have to create a new account which is inconvenient. @Mark can you tell us please? I need to do this too.

Not a definitive answer, but maybe not because user names can be tagged in all kinds of posts and it would break those tags.

@SuperMerabh it looks like you and I have to disappear from this community and reappear with new aliases. :grin:

That’s not so good. Surely each user has a unique id and you are not dependent on the actual username?

We can wait for @Mark to give us a definitive reply. Maybe they can handle this offline in the backend upon “special request”.
