I don't want my email address to be my community forum ID. I don't recall ever being given the option of choosing an ID for the forum. Can you help me change it?
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
I been trying to find the right people around here that can simply delete this username, so I can create a new one ... or allow it to be changed. So simple, for a database expert. Problem is, there are none, and they send us through a thousand changes trying to find the right people who are overlooking this Community Forum! My name has been legally changed since 2016, and these people are forcing me to see one that I got rid of long ago? SMH
This should've propagated over when I changed my account information, but noooooooooo. That sounds too much like right (or the correct thing to do). UGH!

Hello,
Please change my forum name from DoesYouCare to DoYouCare.
Thank you and have a blessed day.
You will notice that your requested username change has been completed. Please let us know if you have any other questions or need anything else.
I had submitted a billing complaint under the username "DoesYouCare" BEFORE I requested the username change to "DoYouCare." The entry was incomplete (i.e. no response has been received). Has this complaint been forever lost (i.e. must I re-enter my complaint)?
Your username change will never impact any posts or ability to get a response. You do not need to post again, as everything now displays with your new username. Please remember, the Xfinity Forum is a peer-to-peer help community. This means that you are mostly talking to other paying customers just like you. There is an outstanding team of Official Employees assisting in these forums, but they are primarily here to help with things that other users (customers) may not be able to help with.
Although our users and Official Employees work very hard to answer questions in a timely fashion, forum employee support is not real-time. Employee response time varies by staffing and workloads. We ask that you please remain patient for a response to your post.

I had a username of AGM1204 (which is what I want to continue using) but when I tried to login to user the forum today it would only bring me to the "Create a Username" page not a login page and when I entered AGM1204 it told me, of course, that that username was already in use. Yes, duh! It's me!!! So, the only way to get around that and get into the forums was to create another user name (addimoore) which I am using currently but do NOT want to use. Would you be so kind as to change my username back to AGM1204? Thank you!!!

Welcome back to the Xfinity Forum. We sincerely apologize for the issue you are experiencing with your previous username @1204AGM . After searching the username it does appear that the username is still active and is available for you to access with the correct email and associated password. I can also tell you that the email you used for this new username is not the same that you used for that other username.
If you do not remember these credentials for the AGM1204 username, feel free to private message me with your full name, address and phone number to discuss/update this information.
Please let me know if you need anything else or have any other questions.
Your issue has been escalated to the Comcast Team available to the Forums. A member of that team will reply to your post as quickly as they are able, so check back often.
In the meantime, please do not send a PM to an Official Employee unless requested because it is against the Forum Guidelines and the Acceptable Use Policy. You can read about our PM Policy here.
Welcome to the Xfinity Forum. I am happy to help you get your forum username changed. Feel free to post or private message me what you would like your new username to be.

Seems there is no self-serve way to do this. I notice in the archives, changing my forum user name is possible....

There are several threads where other customers had the same question.
See https://forums.xfinity.com/t5/Getting-Started/Community-Forum-Username-Change/m-p/3234189
You have to get the attention of an appropriate Xfinity agent who can assist. Hopefully, one will see your post.

The username Perrier was already in use by another user, so I changed your username to Perrier1. If this does not work for you or you would like another username, please let us know here.
Saw this thread. Please change my username from EllenScavia to EJS

The username EJS and ELS1 were both in use by other users, so your username has been changed to EJS2. If this username does not work for you or you would like to change it again. Please let us know here.
Hello - I saw this thread and hoped you could help. When I typed "wjac" I thought I was typing in the "search" bar instead of the "choose username" box. Please change my username to Dominic5 if at all possible. Or the next one after 5, I'm not picky. Thank you!
Sorry for the delay. You will notice your requested username change has been completed. Please let us know if you need anything else.
