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!

When on the Adobe Support Community page, and I click my avatar (top right of screen), and click My Profile, it shows my name as martins89932002, and has a avatar selected from the stock list provided by Adobe.. however, when I click Account Settings > Edit on Adobe Account, it shows my expected Avatar image, and my Adobe screen name as DoYouLikeHam (as I'd expect).  why are they different?  It even states there "This is your screen name in the Adobe Support Community.", but clearly this isn't the case!

This is the issue I mentioned in the original post. I've now updated your username 🙂

As we took over the company ACEMGroup our name should change to NKMB but we can't change the community name. Can you change ours?

Despite Adobe closing previous threads ... but at least acknowledging there is an issue with updating screen names. I'd like to ... update my screen name. Please advise how this can be done successfully. none of the steps provided are useful. the Adobe account shows a different screen name to the community screen name.

I cannot access this community site under my actual adobe account so I had to create this one.   When i try to log in with my normal adobe account name, it says I cannot access the site.  It appears the account is blocked.  Can you go into my account and see what is going on?  I talked to a number of tech support people at adobe but they are only trained for product supper and are not familior with this community.  They said it is a separate from what they provide tech support for.  Thank you.
