i can;t figure this out , i found user control panel , clicked on edit settings then on edit info saw my name with the id which is a Bit strange to post to All. i thought that was a no no in security> but everytime i try to delete the name to put in what i want it puts me back to the user panel general page.

I don't know if you can. I think whatever your ingame name is shows up here.

thank you and aw foooey ..lol i got used to that name . and it means every time others who change their ingame name depending on how they feel that day (not me) will be different here everyday and that makes it hard to ever know who someone is as a forum member.

The ID# stays the same...but harder to remember than a name.

Let's hope it's a temporary setting and not permanent.

I definitely hope they make names unchangable so we don't have people changing their name everyday confusing us all, lol.

Yep, I had to change my avatar name from my facebook name to my old forum name.
I guess I'll keep my Avi named my forum name so it shows up here.

That is why they added the player id number.

People will be changing their names, you can bet on that, LOL.

i won;t be very good at remembering their id numbers..lol..i just put my name in signature Oh i see finally my ingame name changed i guess i will just keep it that . i used to say Candy in Game in signaure but now i will sy candy in Real world. :-)

or candy offline. there are several Candy's so if we all appear as Candy that would be confusing ..and i LIKe to know that Dandelionwine is Dandelionwine we change outfits too so much it will be impossible to learn our names if it keeps changing . i always used Candy in game but like i said that would be confusing if all candys were Candy's here. or a lisa etc.. and if you feel like a Rose tomorrow i won;t know its you:-)
