Hello, community!

As long as you're signed in, you can now change your own username on the Community.

 

How, you ask?

Click the user avatar on the header banner => select "My Profile" from the drop-down => Click the edit icon on the top right corner of your current screen name => Enter your new name and submit!


Please keep these guidelines in mind:

  1. It can contain letters (a-z), numbers (0-9), periods (.), underscore (_), and dash (-).

  2. It shouldn't contain:
    - Private information (PII) such as your email address
    - Symbols apart from the ones stated above. For example @&"=`'
    - A sequence of the allowed symbols. For example -_Abc_-
    - The word 'Adobe' or any Adobe product

  3. It can't be promotional, for example, a website

  4. It can't be offensive and should comply with our Community Guidelines

Thank you!

I was in contact with also six different agents on the chat, nobody seemed to be aware of the bug. They referred me to the forum, so I instantly found this post! Awesome!

 

Would you please change mine to andy_melcc?

 

Thanks a bunch!

Someone already has that username, so I've added a point at the end 🙂

Unfortunately, accounts can't be merged. The alternative option is to delete one of them, do you have access to both? Which one would you like me to delete?
