I also changed my name there and it does NOT update my display name here. I am not sure why my email address is showing as my display name but I would love to change that. Any other suggestions?

John,  the forum screen names can't be changed from the forum.   Users must log-in to https://account.adobe.com and edit their Profile page. 

 

I don't know if Khoros is accepting screen name changes yet.  It hasn't so far.  I logged it in the Back Room under Botched Screen Names.

Thanks for the help. I tried your suggestion and it did not work. I'll be alinbroth for a while I guess.

If you did click save please post this as a bug

Unofrtunately it does not. It contains Adobe foum name but does not include the display name. If I come to this profile I am unable to change everything but the display name.

Moved to Community Feedback.

Maybe Melissa or David can tell us when this will be fixed.

Hiu,

 

I wonder if it might work to just delete the original account and start again. If it can't be deleted then just open a new one and ignore the old. Might work?

 

I hope this helps

if so, please "like" my reply and if you're OK now, please mark it as "correct", so that others who have similar issues can see the solution

thanks

Neil,

No disrespect but I don't think cancelling an Adobe user account is any kind of solution for paying members.  There is a disconnect between Adobe.com and Khoros on community.adobe.com which needs attention.

Nancy

youre right

In the world of computing its often quite a mission to try get developers to change anything, I am so used to coming up with workarounds for myself so I can get by day to day without frustration that its become a habit.
