Title: Anonymity with username
Post by: Tryingmybest on January 18, 2016, 17:04

I might have missed something, but it seems like our login/username is now public, as opposed to our forum name. Speaking for myself, this seems like a change in the MSG forum. I prefer the name Striving to show up, but not my login (Author) name. If so, is there a way to go back to the old way?   :-\

For some reason if you change user name your old one still shows for threads you start. I think it always happened and I don't  know why?

Yep it's always been that way.  If you want yours changed, just let me know.
