User as profile name in banner

Deleted member 217114 · Mar 2, 2022

Dear Racedepartment,

I noticed something strange. Maybe a bug.
As you see it used to show my name, but now it just displays 'USER'

Yours,
Rinus

You did fix it yourself ?! Yes ?

No. I still says 'User' not RinusDirtRally in the banner. I think its a bug. Everything else works fine, tho. Only seeing 'User' instead of my name is weird.

Firefox 97.0.1 (When the hell did we get to 97?!) w/ uBlockOrigin.

We can also change it into MyRD, User CP or something similar. For folks with a long name it will cause the navbar to become all funny. Hence we chose a more generic "user"

LOL yes it's entirely bonkers. Maybe they're gonna change the name soon cos I think I'll have to stop using it if the major version number is into 3 digits

Maybe that's a clue that long usernames = bad

Can we change it back to "User" if we want to?

Haha... NOOO!

Was thinking, for privacy reasons it would be nice to hide the username (and the avatar maybe)
Some like to surf with their laptop/tablet in public, but want to keep things private.
