If someone does a reply, in the body of the thread, your old user name remains. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-few-updates-to-hellobees-registration-process#post-139672 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 00:29:04 +0000 SugarplumsMom 139672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You've gone above and beyond, MrBee! Great work!<br /> But I agree with @tequiero21: what you had before was sufficient, I didn't have a problem with the original form and it wasn't any different from any other site out there. </p> <p>Your care and diligence for HB shows through ^^ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-few-updates-to-hellobees-registration-process#post-139633 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 22:34:23 +0000 cupcakemama 139633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cool. I like the ability to change usernames once. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-few-updates-to-hellobees-registration-process#post-139539 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 21:03:36 +0000 mrsjyw 139539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have a problem with the original form, but this is def a great improvement and resolves all of the former complaints! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-few-updates-to-hellobees-registration-process#post-139381 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 19:42:13 +0000 Grace 139381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the Gravatar link. It took me a long time to figure out why others had a pic and I didn't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-few-updates-to-hellobees-registration-process#post-139149 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 18:17:22 +0000 PBandBaseball 139149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It looks great! I think anyone who was confused before should be 100% clear now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-few-updates-to-hellobees-registration-process#post-139058 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 17:57:44 +0000 chopsuey 139058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awesome! Was clear to me before, but thanks for making things clearer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-few-updates-to-hellobees-registration-process#post-139019 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 17:28:21 +0000 Arden 139019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow! A lot of work for such a little thing, but I'm glad you took it seriously and put so much effort into it. If it wasn't clear before, it's abundantly clear now. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-few-updates-to-hellobees-registration-process#post-138981 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 17:10:51 +0000 BSB 138981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow! Thank you so much for your heart and dedication in improving this site! Thanks for working so hard for us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-few-updates-to-hellobees-registration-process#post-138955 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 16:48:37 +0000 Andrea 138955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Seems clear to me, thanks! Does that mean I should change my user name though? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-few-updates-to-hellobees-registration-process#post-138946 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 16:23:11 +0000 tequiero21 138946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Think all that is unnecessary. Think a star that's defined as "required" should be sufficient. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-few-updates-to-hellobees-registration-process#post-138923 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 16:03:07 +0000 mrbee 138923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hey guys - </p> <p>A few days ago, a Hellobee member flagged some potential points of confusion with our registration process:</p> <p>1) She was confused over which fields were required versus optional.<br /> 2) She also wasn't sure which fields from the registration process might be published to her public profile.</p> <p>First, to clarify: only the username and email fields are required (well, your password too). All other fields are optional, and if you fill them out they will appear on your profile.</p> <p>To help convey this to new members, our team just made the following changes to the registration process:</p> <p>* We removed some text that said "* THESE FIELDS ARE REQUIRED" (in reference to the username and email, which were marked with an asterisk). If someone doesn't fill out the username and email, we'll give them a warning then.<br /> * We grouped together all of the optional fields, and clearly labeled them as "optional."<br /> * To be more specific, we actually labeled the optional fields with the phrase "OPTIONAL PUBLIC PROFILE" so that people can see that the fields are both optional and would appear in your public profile (if you choose to fill them in, that is).</p> <p>Here is a screenshot.</p> <p><img src="http://www.hellobee.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/registration.jpg" /></p> <p>Let us know what you think of the changes!</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> Mr. Bee</p> <p>ps We'll also be adding a link to Gravatar from your profile, so it's a bit easier to find out where to edit or delete your Gravatar.</p> <p>pps One last note, on the subject of privacy. I want to reiterate that we definitely urge all Hellobee members to take steps to keep your identity private! Towards that end, we have programmed a name change feature and allow all members to request one username change. Please take advantage of this if your username can somehow be tied to your real-life identity:</p> <p><a href="http://help.hellobee.com/board/username" rel="nofollow">http://help.hellobee.com/board/username</a> </p>
