    m0x###

    What is with the invasion of these m0x#### users? Sometimes they appear to be bots, sometimes they appear to be humans (is it a test?)

    New users only have to provide an email address now, so the username is autogenerated. We recommend setting a username before posting in the forums, but not everyone does.

    can they change their username after they've posted?
    Something about the wrinkle in your forehead tells me there's a fit about to get thrown
    And I never hear a single word you say when you tell me not to have my fun
    It's the same old shit that I ain't gonna take off anyone.
    and I never had a shortage of people tryin' to warn me about the dangers I pose to myself.

    i wouldn't mind if creating an account took them the minimal amount of effort to create a username.

If someone could make a jacket of those three things it would no doubt be the most popular and prized item in all of your closets.

    I set a user name, it shows in my stash profile, but I can't use it to log in and it doesn't show up when I post. I have searched high and low for some way to fix the issue with zero success.

    My guess is the plethora of auto populated user names has a lot to do with a glitch in the system that isn't allowing the user picked name to override the auto generated name

    Can someone please fix my name

    I am silversurfer

    if they are going to be randomly generated can we at least make the prefix something embarrassing?

    would appear they're more concerned with clickbait, Opie, and kissboy than fixing this glitch.

    It's not a glitch, just probably could be better communicated. You need to update your username, here: https://www.tetongravity.com/community/username

    Unfortunately though, someone already has silversurfer.

    Can you make it so they have to choose a username in the first place?

    Tell your instructors that their concerns that people will not post if they have to go through that one extra steap are baseless because they already have in mind something they want to say.

    However the cost is that there these m2983x names are mumbo jumbo and destroy the community identity because we can't keep track of anyone.

    If they are seeking registrations and most of them don't post, then get the bets of both by only needing an email to register with TGR, but if they go to post on the forums, they should be taken to a page where they choose a username before they can post.

    1) tell your instructors they are fucking morons

    2) change the random name generator to assign everyone cockbagXXXX, dicktrapXXXX, and similar until this is fixed

    it's also poor design. I changed my username when I signed up to silversurfer, which is what my stash profile says. Shouldn't have to change it somewhere else.

    I follow your link and silversurfer isn't available. Okay, so I set it to TheSilverSurfer, but stash profile stays silversurfer. I click link to change username so stash username is same as forum username and the link that should be for my username in stash profile (because it says username silversurfer) and it redirects to the change username link you posted. It's really pretty ridiculous to have to change username in different places.

    The least you can do is show some appreciation by posting naked pics of your GF before laying into the admin's JONG.

    And now the only way I can get to anything that says change username is to follow link tgrweb posted. Can't find any link anywhere under settings or forum settings to change stash username or forum username.
