Can certainly see why you'd think your name is showing up somewhere in the public forum as opposed to private, since it is clearly under the heading of Public Statistics under one's own profile.

Another one of those crazy items PM needs to update - add it to the list.

Thank you @Korth  I didnt even think to do that.

You can click on your own user profile while logged out to see what other users can see when they click on it.

It wasn't bear2 I want to change. I was just looking at my profile settings and it shows name and things I commented on etc. Can others see that or only me? It shows public statistics?

Ah ha - I see okay, well I do not see any other name other than Bear2 when I look you up. 

No one should see your Profile settings you have set. But if find out otherwise, geez, let me know! 🙂

[Bear2]

Ok good I thought everyone could see it. Thanks. That i just change in settings?

Yes. Only YOU should see that name. But you can change it to anything anyways, so why not change it and be more comfortable about it.

Nobody can see your name. If someone were to figure out logging in to your community account then they would. So make it fake anyway.

@Bear2 , where else are you seeing a different name for others?
