I have submitted a support ticket for no name change due to privacy. No response as of yet, perhaps busy.
Would you please post the ticket number and date you entered it?
Ticket number #29058 on date February 22
Can you check my account? I used only two names: Tomcat and previous one.
Done
Mj1
Oh yeah and TheEvo
Hi @RVconsultant , I had one name change from Classic1 to Present1 because I used to live in the past. Can I keep Present1 please?
I believe you did. However, it’s not showing up. Please double check.
You can keep Present1.
Perhaps there are people who think the policy is about returning to their former name.
This is about putting your former names in your profile. Check a Form Ambassador to see how.
A format such as:
Former name: Classic1
Would you please add that name to your profile?
Also did you have a name such as Speed?
Done, added to profile.
To be honest I don’t remember my previous username😅
I did get a message relating to this a gentle reminder from our good friend Malkuth.
I browse from my mobile could not see the option to show previous names.
@RVconsultant is this hiddem from web mobile ?
Thank you for speaking up! It’s a good question because I’m wondering if there are more people with this question. If the below process doesn’t work on your mobile device, perhaps someone else can explain what they did.
Okay everyone. If you’re not able to find this, I’ll do my best to explain it. I’m also using a PC, rather than a mobile.
I want to make this absolutely clear. I’m providing detailed steps below to ensure I’m giving all the exact steps I did with the hope that anyone of any skill set can use to help them. However because I’m a moderator, I might have a different set of menu options than you. So if this doesn’t work, perhaps someone else can give another way.

12 I typed in Former names: None as a test message.
13 I scrolled to the bottom of the page.

If anyone is having any questions about the process of posting your previous names on your profile, please speak up.
Done.
On the phone it works exactly the same way.
I think @RockyHandsome misunderstood and thought there’s an option you have to check and it’s shows all your previous usernames automatically. At least that’s how I understood his post.
