Hey YoFans,

We know some of you are asking why player ID's are being displayed in forum names (the numbers in brackets beside your name). This is for a few reasons:

Your player name will change automatically on the forum if you change it in the game. In order to give context to posts, and to make sure there's some accountability with what is being posted, your player ID is a constant way to identify you.

We know in the past hackers were able to do things with this number, but this is no longer the case. Your account is perfectly secure as long as you never give out your Facebook login details.

You're still able to read posts without the number being visible to others should anyone still be concerned. Thanks!

That part that says need password to change username is therefore redundant?

Gary, I understand our number will never change, but what if someone uses the same in game name and posts here and behaves less than respectfully? I ask because there have been situations where people have impersonated other players.
