    Our apologies for this mjacewicz. You wouldn't be able to change your login name from your side. 

    If you wish to have it changed you would need to Private message the ModTeam account on the community.

    Thanks for reaching out to us Anonymous,

    If you access your home page and then click on your profile picture in the top right hand corner, you should then see an 'Edit Profile' option.

    This will then allow you to alter the login name

    Thanks,

      Hi David,

      I want to change my publicly-facing username on this forum, I don't really want it to show my surname in full.

      I have already been through every settings page after pressing "Edit Profile" and none of them seem relevant to what I want to do. The closest one is "Change email" but that is all.

      Please advise.

        Hi,

        Under Edit profile, you should then see multiple options such as login, email, password etc. Please select 'login'. You should be able to change the log in name there. The log in name is the displayed username. 

        Please let us know how you get on.
