| I noticed a setting that allows user name changes, so I enabled it. Thus, if you want to change the capitalization of your name or pick an entirely new name, just click the Profile link near the top of the screen. |

Would this move, not start confustion? Not so much for you, since your the admin. and are checking out IPs, but for others that visit the forum.
If I change my name, like almost every time I came, then would this not make it difficult for other forum users to figure who they are "talking" with, the history of what is going, etc....?
Plus, you already allow Guest logins. So if somebody wanted to change their name, they could easily do it by using that method.
I'm just curious as to the whole logic involving name changes and even the guest logins, since many other forums don't allow this. |

Also, someone can always sign up for a new username and abandon their old one. Allowing name changes avoids the need for that, though it does open the door to potential misuse.
Thanks for your comments. |
