| I've noticed a number of posts from "FirstN LastN", and they all seem to have different post counts, indicating that they are from different people. It seems a bit confusing to me...

| | Many people didn't have a first name or last name associated with their account during the migration, and if they had no name, they could not update the profile.... so I had to put these placeholders in so they had something to click on in the upper right hand corner to access their profile. | |

| | Couldn't their old display names have been ported over? It's kind of confusing to know who is who. | |

| | Hopefully everyone will update their name.... unfortunately, I wasn't able to handle every single detail the way I had wanted/expected.... but I'm almost ready to update post counts! That counts for something, right? | |

| | I agree, it is difficult to know who's who. Maybe it exists and I missed it, but how about a big "how-to" notice on the basics, like updating your display name, changing your password, updating your avatar (which I still haven't done - Brad, can avatars be ported over? I'm not sure I can find my eyeballs!) | | | |

| | Yes, display name isn't really the display name... it's using first name / last name. There will be an update for this.. I'll announce it when display name is working as expected. | |

| I completely agree with Eric. A general how-to and what's new section or thread etc would be a huge help.

| Cool. You might also want to consider setting up someplace (at least temporarily) where unregistered users can post - there may be a bunch of folks out there unable to login, and unable to ask questions about it. | | | |

| Yea, sorry about that..... it's not using display name yet, but definitely will in a near future update.
I've gone ahead and updated your account.... but also know you can click on your name in the upper right hand corner to update your profile. | |

| | It will let you update if you click on your current name in the very far upper right hand corner... next to the logout link. | | | |
