I'm planning on sticking with my avatar and name for that exact reason. I get so confused. I still associate people with their original usernames, especially if they kept the same avatar. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-confused-by-username-changes/page/2#post-1099873 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 21:25:17 +0000 mrskc 1099873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: I remember when you used to have the shoes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-confused-by-username-changes/page/2#post-1099827 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 21:06:37 +0000 Periwinkle 1099827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I get very confused by this! I just did my change recently and played around with the idea of changing my avatar too, but decided to wait a bit. </p> <p>On the other hand though, it's sort of fun to figure out who is who after a username change! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-confused-by-username-changes/page/2#post-1099798 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 20:55:25 +0000 MsLipGloss 1099798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: @lemondrop: LOL! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-confused-by-username-changes/page/2#post-1099388 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 19:13:18 +0000 mrbee 1099388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemondrop: All good, a lot of our best feedback comes from crabbier users! :)</p> <p>@Kemma: sometimes people change usernames for privacy reasons... we'll have to think the privacy issues through carefully! Love the idea though, thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-confused-by-username-changes/page/2#post-1099384 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 19:12:22 +0000 pastemoo 1099384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: ALWAYS! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-confused-by-username-changes/page/2#post-1099359 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 19:07:05 +0000 lemondrop 1099359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I'm sorry, I'm not feeling great and am on the crabby side today- I don't mean to be so negative, you guys are great about suggestions (I just don't have any for this one)! </p> <p>It's not a horrible thing, and I can understand why it's nice to have from time to time. I do like that you limit how much it can be done! I very much agree with @Mrs. Jacks: that it does disrupt the community feeling sometimes. </p> <p>We are on the interwebs, no matter how careful we are, it is a public entity- and in some ways that's the beauty of a community, getting people from all walks of life. I think it's just there have been so many recently, it got overwhelming. Glad to hear it's slowing down again :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-confused-by-username-changes/page/2#post-1099319 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 18:57:56 +0000 Kemma 1099319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: maybe HB could display both the new and old username for 24 hours (or a shorter length of time) then change to the new name? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-confused-by-username-changes/page/2#post-1099298 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 18:54:53 +0000 mrbee 1099298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemondrop: Open to ideas on how we could make it less confusing! Or if you guys would like to not allow username changes, we could discuss that too... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-confused-by-username-changes/page/2#post-1099272 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 18:47:29 +0000 MsLipGloss 1099272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: lol . . . silly rabbit! yeah, it's cute and happy and all, but . . . ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-confused-by-username-changes/page/2#post-1099257 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 18:42:09 +0000 MrsH 1099257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: I changed mine because i thought someone would recognize my shoes too.</p> <p>I get confused a lot lately with the name changes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-confused-by-username-changes/page/2#post-1099247 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 18:40:38 +0000 shopaholic 1099247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: @runsyellowlites: Agreed!</p> <p>Very confusing!

Sometimes I can tell by the avatar, but lately I'm not on as much, so it's not so easy to figure it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-confused-by-username-changes/page/2#post-1099056 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 17:52:01 +0000 lemondrop 1099056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I find it annoying, name changes are my LEAST favorite feature here on HB. I get confused, then have to go back through archives and look for replies to figure out who the person is- especially when there is a high post count, I feel like I should know who I'm interacting with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-confused-by-username-changes/page/2#post-1099045 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 17:46:18 +0000 rawrasaur 1099045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: SAME!

There are some people I think have just left, but I'm sure it's a name change. I can't keep up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-confused-by-username-changes/page/2#post-1098995 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 17:31:05 +0000 banana 1098995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: Yes! I remember your red shoes! Your hawk avatar is very relaxing for some reason. I'd love to fly! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-confused-by-username-changes/page/2#post-1098987 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 17:27:23 +0000 mrskc 1098987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: yeah, it was red shoes and then a pic of lower half of DS and I for a bit and now a pic of a hawk. I got too paranoid someone would recognize my wedding shoes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-confused-by-username-changes/page/2#post-1098471 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 14:52:46 +0000 JerricaBenton 1098471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. I thought there were all these new people until I started looking at post counts. I pretty much have no clue who anyone is nowadays :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-confused-by-username-changes/page/2#post-1098458 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 14:50:02 +0000 banana 1098458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: Wait, when did you change yours? Wasn't yours red before? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-confused-by-username-changes/page/2#post-1098448 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 14:47:42 +0000 mrskc 1098448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: haha I did that too at first when I changed m avatar.

With all the recent changes there are a number of bees that I'm constantly going "Argh, who the heck were they?!"</p> <p>I have to agree with @Mrs. Jacks: too! Even though I "know" these ladies from being around so long, now it feels very "stranger" like. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-confused-by-username-changes/page/2#post-1098068 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 13:42:50 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1098068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's very confusing and plays with the sense of community. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-confused-by-username-changes/page/2#post-1098030 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 13:31:58 +0000 kiddosc 1098030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get more confused when people change their avatar. I'm totally lost when people change both at the same time! </p>
