Excuse me? Why?  Now I have to recall another username.  Smiley

This is for security - to keep the bad spammers away. (And yes, I have evidence that they've already made an attempt to access this board.) I find that having the displayed name being different that the login is now pretty standard on the various newer boards and unless you are accessing the forum from other computers and/or browsers, your browser should be able to remember your board login (ID) and password for you.

In some things I will cheerfully be lax (like censorship) and others I have to be much more strict (like security).

But then - since you're here to whine about it - WELCOME TO THE BOARD! Grin
