Hi @yxhan

It appears you were silenced because of suspicious activity but I think you are now in good shape here in the forum.

Regarding your question, were you referring to the issue here in the support forum ([help.anvilproject.org](http://help.anvilproject.org)) or your AnVIL account (anvil.terra.bio)?

Hi Yixing,

Unfortunately, new users don’t have the ability to change their usernames right away.

I can, however, change that for you if you want. Please let me know if that is fine with you.

I did the change and it appears it has taken effect.

Let me know if this is behaving as you’d expect.
