When I went to post my first post in the community forums, I accidentally misspelled my username (it's supposed to be Death, not Deat). The page that prompted me for a username in no way made it clear that it was not editable and there was no confirmation dialogue, so I had no idea at the time what I was entering was perminant.
Is there anyway I can get my username fixed? Is there a way to contact Fitbit support to have it fixed or am I stuck with a misspelled username for the rest of eternity?
Answered! Go to the Best Answer.
Community usernames cannot be changed once they've been chosen, in order to maintain the integrity of the forum structure. That being said, I certainly want you to have the name you want, and will PM you to assist.
Edit: typo
@descart I'll be happy to help - let me know what you need by posting or PMing me.
Hi, I have the same issue. My username should be PamelaLibrarian, not PamelaLibraria. I hit "enter" and didn't realize it was misspelled. Can you help me?
thanks!
Pam
Is there a way to change my username on the community? Thanks!
Sorry, once you have set it up it is there forever........
@JLou37 As it says above, private message one of the moderators. @MatthewFitbit is on this thread, for example. He can help you.
For sending private messages on the forums
Click your picture next to the gear (settings) icon in the upper right corner of the forum, this takes you to 'your about' page. To the right you'll see 'private messages', with any unread message displayed.
Clicking the corresponding message will open the message to read, it's also possible to click on 'view inbox' below 'private messages' to go to your forum inbox where you are able to see received / send messages / ignored users / and the option to send a message to a friend,.. who you know the name from being used onto the forums.
To go to the inbox directly: URL: Click to go to your private messages inbox

I messed up when making my username. I put an r instead of an e. Is there anyway it can be changed.
