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.

I was having a weird problem where my community username, Charisma, was what I wanted it to be but a different name was listed when I checked my Adobe account profile. I'm not sure if it's just a temporary glitch but when I went to change it in the account profile so the names would match up, it said that username was already taken. And it is... by me!

I see that your name right now is indeed 'Charisma'. The only reason why the site would ask you for another name is if you had another/multiple Adobe licenses. If the username is matching the wrong Adobe ID/license I can swap them. Let me know how you get on!

Thank you for the reply! When I go to Account Settings in Adobe Support Community it's linked to the right email and has my Support Community Name as Charisma but when I follow the link to Edit on my Adobe account it has a different name listed for my Adobe Screen Name. It seems like my name on Support just isn't updating even if I change it in my Adobe account.
