	It used to come up with your given name did'nt it ? Maybe there is a new system of entering names so you cannot have the same board name as someone else jax
	Researching: Nothing much

	How is this possible??? Just now, someone spammed the boards with identical posts on Find Ancestors (the appropriate board) Genealogy Chat General Chat The person had reached 8 posts when I last looked (having been a member since 2005) -- all dated today -- and not one of them had a username. I don't like talking to ghosts. How can it be that someone who registered at the site in 2005 has no username?? How can anyone register at the site now and be able to complete the registration without choosing / being assigned a username?? ??

	I have seen two examples of this, this week. One on Chat and one on Living Relatives. Both were the person's first post on the boards. I've "requested review" of the one on Living Relatives just so that site management sees the problem. The person isn't going to find her auntie that way anyway, but making it impossible for anyone to contact her (not possible to reply in thread, not possible to send a PM) seems rather pointless. How can someone post w/o a username appearing??
