Forum Name Change - ClumsyMinty - 2025-07-06
Hi, this is a question relating to the forum rather than Jellyfin itself but I couldn't find a section for forum specific questions or requests.
I want to change my forum username and I can't seem to find any options in my control panel to do so. I'm trans and no-longer identify with my old username and it's uncomfortable seeing my old name on my profile. I thought about deleting my account and making a new one but I made a tutorial at one point on this account for a very niche issue that seems to have helped a fair few people so far. I'd hate to destroy that tutorial as it would of saved me hours if it existed when I needed it. I thought about copy and pasting it to a new account but I'd be worried that it'd get flagged as a repeat post and deleted. It'd also lose the reactions and reputation points that make it easier to find for new users that need it.
If there's a way to change my username I'd really appreciate it, if there's no way to do it I might rephrase this post and make a feature request. Any help is really appreciated. Thanks, ClumsyMinty.

You should be able to change your username on this page:
https://forum.jellyfin.org/usercp.php?action=changename
If that doesn't work, let us know and we'll update it for you.

Thank you so much for the quick response. Unfortunately, the link does not seem to work. I got this error:
"That Wasn't Quite Right
Forbidden (HTTP 403)
Request forbidden by administrative rules."

Yeah I wasn't entirely sure if we allowed username changes, for me as forum admin it just shows up 😅. I've manually changed your username now!
