OK, Thom, thanks. Let’s retry next week to fix this. Have a nice sunday, anyhow.
Personally, I don’t want my real name to appear here. What’s the advantage (I am a hobbyist)? Right now I see no drawback to showing my real name, either, but who knows what’s coming in the future?
As for hiding or behaving incorrectly, I believe I am respectful to everyone in the forum, and that has nothing to do with me using my name or a nickname.
My two cents.
By the way, I created a second account just for the forum (but that would not work for “pro” members).

This is true. However, I would prefer it if my full name appeared only to logged-in users of the forum. For Googlebot, anonymous users, etc. I’d suggest showing only the first name and last initial (i.e. “Andrew L.”)
Thanks, Taylor, is this the “Switch User” symbol below the icon?
No, you have to get into your account and it’s under ‘Contact Information’.
Thanks, found it. But I’m unsure about changing the real name to nick name at this location.
That’s the point, they’re encouraging people to use their real names.
