Eric - TIA Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 We are in the process of upgrading our forum, but are running into a problem and wanted to run it past everyone. In the current version of IPBoard, you are allowed to have a sign in name to get into the forum. Then you are allowed to have a different screen name. With the upgrade, they are merging the two. So your sign in name will also be your displayed name. I really don't agree with this move that they did, but who am I to say. Anyways I wanted to run this past everyone and get their thoughts. I am leaning towards keeping the sign in names since most people have the same sign in name as display name. I know some people have different names for each, so wanted to make you aware and get everyone's feedback. You can also PM me with any concerns, questions or changes before we do the upgrade.

Eric - TIA Posted February 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 LOL, good point. Let me check and see once the update happens, I have to see if a username can be changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfer (aka Nalu) Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 I think having the same 'sign in' name is a good idea. I like things simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimboS1ice Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 I always use Twitter to sign in, will that change anything? Sent from my SCH-I535 using TapatalkI have Twitter too so I would assume that the sign in name or account name created would be our Twitter handles.JimboSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overanalyze Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 My sign in name was from when I signed up years ago on the Dewalt forum but by username that everyone sees is what I prefer. If you can change my sign in name then I'm good. Sent from my SM-T310 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
