Hello everyone,
At times you may want to change your username for a specific reason, either to correct it or to set a proper username. Previously, you had to request a team member to change your username, but with this new update, you can change your username by yourself. However, a team member's approval is still required.
Username allows other members to recognize you on the forum, and members may not be able to recognize you if you select a completely new username. We recommend you to change your username only when it is necessary.
Please Note:
Here's how to change your username
Click on your username beside the message icon on top, and then click Account details.
Beside your username, click Change.
A Change username pop-up will open. Here you can also check the date when you will be able to change the username again if you decide to change it now.
Enter your new username, followed by a valid reason for changing the username. When done, click Save.
After reviewing your new username and valid reason for changing the username, a team member will approve your request. A 'username changed' icon will appear next to your username on the tooltip card and profile page, which will be available for 60 days. Any registered or non-registered user can click or tap on that icon to see your previous username.
