KeymasterSelco and I want everyone to be safe and maintain their privacy while enjoying the forum. PLEASE DO NOT USE YOUR REAL NAME AS A USERNAME!!!
If you’ve signed up under your real name, it’s easy to change. Simply go into your profile by clicking your name in the top right-hand corner. Then click Edit. Then type the name you’d like to use in the box and click “Save Changes.” BOOM – you’re done!
Thank you!!!

ParticipantIf you have a ham radio license it’s not a good idea to post your call sign either.
It is easy to find your real name and address in a database.

ParticipantHi! I just logged in for the first time. I see my real name in the upper-right corner where it says “You are logged in as Abraham Lincoln” <span style=”font-size: 80%;”>(sorry, that’s maybe not precisely what it says.)</span> But when I signed up I provided a username which is not my real name. My username is “Amras“. Did I do this right? Is my realname visible, or are you just seeing “Amras” ?

Noway2
ParticipantI had (have) the same question. When I signed up, it had a section for name (first, last) and one for username. On the main screen it said “Welcome My Name” “You are currently logged in as My Name”. Under the profile, though, it is @Noway2 – my username / handle.
In either case, I changed the profile for Name to be the same as my handle so there should be no issue, but I am curious as to which it would have posted as, username or name.

ParticipantThanks, I will go back and change it. I have a healthy suspicion of using one’s legal name on the internet, I’ve been investigated for jobs and really don’t want my prospective employers to know what I post on the internet or what else I’m interested in besides making lots of money for them or making them look good..

Welcome and yes “they” can ID you.
Not using your real name is more for security of those who would read this, look you up and come steal because they assume you have guns and expensive gear. It’s so your neighbor can’t label you as some nut job behind your back, tell your boss who might share the same views causing work issues. It’s so your kids can’t be smeared at school as “doomsdayers who probably spend their nights digging tunnels” because getting through the peer pressure years are bad enough.As with preparedness it’s more about daily issues than clandestine stuff even though it’s not illegal (yet) people are jerks and will mess with anyone different
