Charles_Webster Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Why do I have a 10-digit number appended to my user name? On the old site I was just Charles_Webster, where did 1664879026 come from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy Vongries Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Have no idea, and unfortunately I don't have the access to edit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJT Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 If you want to change your display name try going to your ACCOUNT SETTINGS page and clicking on the DISPLAY NAME tab (if this is available to you). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy Vongries Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 If you do as WJT suggests and can't change it, please let me know. There is one unlabeled "switch" I can throw which might give you access. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin McAmera Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 charles_webster also exists, but has no activity. I think this must be the result of a glitch occurring when the site data was transferred onto the new software. The same thing has happened to rws/rws1664886018, and 'rws' still exists, and has just one piece of activity. There are also various variations on rws to confuse the issue. https://www.photo.net/search/?&q=Charles_Webster&type=core_members&joinedDate=any&group[3]=1&group[7]=1 https://www.photo.net/search/?&q=rws&type=core_members&joinedDate=any&group[3]=1&group[7]=1 There are quite a few more: I saw you both have numbers starting with 1664, and searched for that: https://www.photo.net/search/?&q=1664&type=core_members&page=1&joinedDate=any&group[3]=1&group[7]=1&sortby=member_posts&sortdirection=desc If that other charles_webster is also you, maybe you could log in as them; but the new name would still have all the posts attributed to it.

mikemorrellNL Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 😄 Ideally, PN would have a test site to try things out without blowing the 'live' site up. But ideally PN would also have at least 1 admin 😉. Invisioncommunity does offer a free 30-day trial. That could be a way of exploring the configuration options available. But until we get (?) an admin with access to PN (and understands how PN is configured now), there's not much point. 17 hours ago, Sandy Vongries said: Good point.

Sandy Vongries Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Yup! Flicked the switch. Got grown kids arriving after an 8 hour drive, food still on the stove. Got to bail, will attach some screen shots of what i see tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy Vongries Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Click on your Name upper right, then Account settings and you should see this. click on Display name in the box to the left then you should see the second screen shot. I did not care to try changing my name since it is correct. Please let me know how it goes! And an early Merry Christmas! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Parsons Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Well, I do now have the facility to change my user name. However, the only option (apparently) is to replace it with my private e-mail address, which I would prefer not to do. Any further suggestions ? Also, when replying to a topic, it now seems that centralising input has been removed, being replaced with 'Increase Indent'. Is this yet another glitch ?

Tony Parsons Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 OK, centralising has returned, which suits me, as I like to move my images away from the left hand side for added impact (and they need all the help they can get !). BTW, if Ludmilla is posting under another name - how will we know ? 'Mystery Guest, please sign in' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
