Treehouse Moderator 91,253 PointsHi Kevin,
Right away I saw an error with your += combinator, but you can finish the challenge with just one more line of code.
All you need to do is concatenate everything together using the + operator. Like so.
var userName = id.toUpperCase() + "#" + lastName.toUpperCase();
See, it goes on one line because the firstName and lastName variables are passed to userName with the only other change of toUpperCase() being added to the string. So you only need use "username" once
Good luck!

For future reference, it's frowned upon in the Community to post answers that can be copied and pasted into a challenge and pass it without edits that isn't accompanied by an explanation of why it works. I've redacted your code here accordingly. If you wish, you may re-post it with a thorough explanation of why it's the correct answer.
Also, I know your intentions are good, but please try to be less judgmental and demeaning of your other students. Posting in the Community comes with the expectation that you be excellent to everyone you encounter, and any harshness -- no matter how well-intentioned -- won't be tolerated around here.
Thanks for helping out around the Community!

Treehouse TeacherOn a side note: the reason you received a "Task <number> is no longer passing" is because you introduced a syntax error into your code. As Jonathan Grieve notes,
+=is valid, but=+is not. This produces a syntax error and your code can no longer be interpreted.
