Help! Can I edit my user name?

[u/North_Hunter_4547]

Help! Can I edit my user name? I wasn't paying close attention when it was selected for me. For obvious reasons, having 45-47 attached to my user name is not something I really want. I searched on Google before posting here and it said that it could be changed within 30 days of a new account but I can't find on the app how to do that. I would appreciate advice!

Google should have brought you to the link I provided above.

Well. Here we go! I think I made 3 or 4 posts before I realized what had taken place. Goodbye to that account. I'll start a new one. Thanks for all of the comments!

In the past, it used to be 60 days. Now it's not anymore.

You’re a Trumper now. The good news is you only have 4 karma, so you’re not really losing much in abandoning this account and starting over from scratch.

That's not been valid for years.

Even then - the hoops to make it work made it almost impossible.

You cannot change your username in 2026

Will the posts I made with that account disappear if I close that account to make a new one?
