Multiple Usernames?
So, I know we're supposed to be able to have more than two usernames, but I can't find how to add a third (or fourth, etc). When I go to my Profile page, there's this username and one for Anonymous posting, but then no way to add another.
I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but what? Help? Thank you tons!




It's a bit odd actually it's not just you. :) One of the reasons for it is to prevent username squatting. In order to claim a username you have to have interacted with a community at least one time.
You get to create a new profile when you are posting/commenting for the first time on a community, or if you are making your own community.
To do so join the community you wish to participate in and then start a post or comment, you should see a bubble pop up asking how you would like to be known. You can click your default username, where you would do so to select anonymous commenting, and providing you haven't already interacted with the community there should be a 'create new' option.
I hope that helps!
Oh excellent, thank you! That's perfectly clear. I'm off to go get my other standard Online Handle.
Wonderful, so glad that made sense!
Cool feature!
Thanks for the tip. This should be made more obvious, maybe some explanation about it in the profile screen.
I was wondering why that was the case. It's a pretty great solution to combat username squatting!
Oh, good, my question's already been asked and answered, thanks!
Thanks for this topic! I'm glad I finally figured it out
