The board is now set up to let you set your username appearance as you like. If you log into your profile, you have the option of changing your linked username to your real name or whatever you like. Your username will still appear on posts, but not as large, as it does now. |

Dave,
I am missing something, I don't see a way to change my username when I edit my profile.
Just curious. |

The username is frozen (or else things would get chaotic). |

For example, you could set your Full Name to "Andy" and that's what would appear in large type, but we'd still know it's Andrewzorn (small type beneath it). It's to allow more flexibility in how people display their name on posts. |

So Instead of Edmay I would be Ed May?
Could I be Edwin Anthony May, Jr.?
Can I throw in my confirmation name and be
Edwin Anthony Anthony May, Junior?
How about Mr. Edwin Anthony Anthony May, Junior BE, MBA, CQE, Esq?
Now I remember why I am Edmay |

Dave:
Is there anything to prevent one poster from editing their profile to use the same username as another poster? I know that the registered user name of the prson who edited his/her profile would still apear in smaller letters below the new name but things could still get pretty confusing. |

I so do NOT understand this thread. If Nancy Chiller Janow is Timmeh, does that mean she also could be . . .
Sbenois??????????
If she is Timmeh, AND Librarylady AND Sbenois, then this whole MOL thing may just be too much for me. (And I was enjoying it so.) |

She ain't. You need to look at the "Username" for the real identity. The username editing ability was changed for allowing those who may like to, to use their real name or something other than their username.
As you can easily see, there's lots of room for fun. |

Yeah, let's stop this....when you look at the view that shows all messages, it shows the nickname rather than the username. It's less easy to scan through and then ignore posts from certain posters that you'd rather not read. |

Okay, let ME try this out.
Hey Mr. Mayor, I've heard through the grapevine that you're going to be resigning so you can face Jerry in a primary battle next year and you need to get started early so you're raising funds by holding a bake sale in the Hilton Library.
Is this rumor true?
Hey, this is weird man. |

OK, as of tomorrow evening at 11:00pm whatever you put into your "full name" field will remain there forever. This is your big chance to get it right, so don't waste it. |
