  Hi. Please can you help me remove my username from the display of my Gravatar?
  I don’t want any Username displayed, just my Public Display Name.

  Hi ericapugliola,

  You can update your profile by visiting your Profile Settings page or clicking on your icon in the upper-right corner or visiting the following link:

  Thank you austinsangs. If only I could! But I really appreciate you trying to help.

  Here’s the issue in case you have other ideas: The only place I see the username (@ericapugliola) is in Account Settings.

  If I delete that in Account Settings, it won’t let me save a blank ‘username’ box.

  If I add new usernames (which I don’t actually want but I do want to change it from what it is), I get the message ‘that name already exists’ and still the ‘save’ button at the bottom is NOT highlighted, so the only option I have is to cancel my attempt to remove the ‘@ericapugliola’ username.

  If you know a way to make changing @ericapugliola in Account Settings I would be very grateful

  Thanks for your help! Heather

  Staartmees and austinsangs, thank you both. I’ve changed the username successfully, and together with my display name, it makes good sense

  Appreciate your help! Cheers!
