ARCHIVED FORUM -- March 2012 to February 2022READ ONLY FORUM
This is the second Archived Forum which was active between 1st March 2012 and 23rd February 2022
A number of us appear to have a log-on name that is different from our forum names.
For some reason, when someone is doing a reply to a post it seems that sometimes the forum name is included in the post, but sometimes the log- on name appears instead. Why does that happen, and is there a way of changing your log-on name to match your forum name?
As two examples, my name Vikinger sometimes appears in replies as my log-on Vikinguk. Jeff's name in responses sometimes comes up as Severian. There are several others that do the same.

Is it an affliction that only affects WedThreaders ?

One thing that confuses me, is that this board allows multiple users with the same username. I've seen multiple 'Michael' 'John' etc, which can prove to be very confusing.
I have just checked and it seems that when you reply from the app, you'll see the user's login name, and when you reply with the forum, you'll see the user's display name.
As I developed the app I'll have a look at that.
p.
Beoworld app with direct photo upload and emoticons.
I mostly identify the users by their avatar-pic.
Therefore it is a bit confusing, when people change their avatar-pic (often).
Sorry Phil - I had a look at the app long ago, but just one time and never again.
I use the web version!

There are many Wedthred afflictions, but this is not one of them!
In fact the Wedthred has its own strange afflictions, such as different post counts, recording members as Gold when they have actually dropped to Bronze...... .
PhilLondon:The wednesday thread is hosted on a different server, that's why you notice these issues.
At some point, my post count went back to zero.

Yes, that's very confusing! This is the only board I've ever seen that actually allows this, btw.
