Am I able to change my username on the forums? Signup assigned a random number to the end of mine and I wish to change.

I suggest you put up a support thread.
Please donot PM support...They will ignore PMs
Put a support thread and I think it is possible to change the forum user name.

Forum username isn't able to be changed actually far as I know, the main reasoning being there's a ton of stuff integrated with other parts of the system, including the hosting-account backend. Sadly that makes username changes almost impossible to put through, although you -can- register a new FORUM account (without hosting on it), and use the Account Swap feature of the account panel to change the hosting account over to the new forum account.

For anyone whose a Prime member I do -not- recommend doing that as it'll move a prime account to a non-prime-enabled forum username, but other than this little hiccup it is possible to at least re-assign the account to a new forum user...Not quite perfect but this won't break the backend system either :)
