Really? You can't make this an option in the profile? You realize I'm just talking about my username in these forums, right? I don't care what my username is for Sonic accounts, since no one but me and you ever see it.
Actually, you can, in a way, do it:
1.) Create a new mailbox on your account (https://members.sonic.net/email/mailboxes/)
2.) Log in to the forums using the name of that mailbox and its password.
Please note that your mailbox login has a different profile from your main login.
These are not solutions. I already have several posts under this name. Also my preferred username (or any of my common variations) is not available as a mailbox (I don't care about elsewhere that since I only use mailboxes as a means to an end and I can pick my own usernames to pair with my own domains). I've never seen a forum I can recall that doesn't let you do something as simple as change a username. I don't mind waiting if there are other things more pressing on your to-do list (like allowing people to change email addresses). Just please don't claim the problem is solved when it's not.
You wouldn't be able to change to a username that was already taken by another Sonic.net customer.
The Sonic.net user database and namespace is what is used by the forum, so if you are not interested in using the current username you have, creating a sub-account is the best way. This is because of the intentional linkage between the forum authentication and Sonic.net account authentication: one account serves both.
