Morning Mod/s, I’ve tirelessly looked for how to edit my forum account name to no avail. I simply want to change my current forum account name from -ENG-HixzeH to -EUR-HixzeH, and would prefer not to create a completely new forum account given my existing is linked to my EA account. Many thanks in advance, Matt ---

You have to change it on origin i think ---

Hi Preston, I changed my ID on Origin weeks ago to twitchtv-hixzeh, however I’ve re-logged into the forums twice and it still appears as -ENG-Hixzeh? Any additional support would be greatly appreciated P.S. I also play BF1 however the forum only displays the BF1 tag for me? Thanks Matt ---

Okay. Please clear your browser cache and cookies, then relogin to the forums. It should help. Please let me know your result. ---

Hi Preston, no joy I’m afraid mate ☹ Cleared cache and cookies. TBH mate I formatted the PC only a couple of weeks ago too so didn’t expect this to work as I’d changed my Origin ID name several weeks/months ago. Is there any way this change can be manually processed? Thanks Matt ---

@Twitchtv_Hixzeh Fixed it for you, seems like you had a dash in your username, hence it wasn’t updating automatically. You can only use underscores here. ---
