Is it possible to change ones forum user name? Because the first time i was logged in and went to the forum and it auto created this nickname, which seems not to be changeable in the user settings. ---

omg, I just have the same question, if there were a way to change my username, because I created it like my last job email, but it doesn't make sense anymore, and I don't want to create another account, so is there a way you could change my username to "Sheko29" if it's available please 🥺? ---

I found a post from April. Looks like an admin had to change the username. I don't have an edit button next to my name in my profile. I would like to change it, as it is currently my full name. Thanks. ---
