I was confused when registering, was putting "Domarius" in the Username field, and "Clint" in the Name field.
I had to assume UserName meant DisplayName, and Name meant my RealName.
I kept getting the error message "The name you have chosen is already taken". Without actually telling me what name that was, so I thought I couldn't register as "Domarius".
I kept trying multiple times, after searching the forum for the name "Domarius" and getting 0 results every time.
So, since it is actually THE OTHER WAY ROUND, the names of the fields should be "User Name", and "SCREEN Name".
But while we're at it, why have two names? Can't you just have a "User Name"?

no. if all you're going to do is complain about the way the site is coded, then can you please not.
I must say, I was fooled by the odd name box set up upon registration. When I was asked to enter my name, I assumed it was for a profile that you could view when clicking on my username. I had no knowledge that it was to be my name when viewed by everyone else when I posted anything. =O
Originally my name was Ashley Linahan and I was like... NOOOO! I don't want people to know my real name... oh great... I screwed that up didn't I... bite my tongue bite my tongue!
Show me the power child,
I'd like to say,
That I'm down on my knees today,
Gives me the butterflies,
Gives me away,
'Til I'm up on my feet again,
I'm feeling outshined.
Thanks Clubsoft. I don't consider myself to be a newbie internet user, having used it for nearly 7 years now, and I just thought that if I got so confused about it, it might be causing other people some trouble too.
