- Accounts created after August 30 2020: The old forum allowed the same forum name to be used by multiple users. The new forum does NOT allow this. A forum name is automatically assigned to new user and is a unique username that is made up of the email address and a random set of digits.
- Accounts create prior to August 30 2020: Your forum name in the new forum may not match your forum name in the old forum. The migration process did not allow the Name field from the old forum to be mapped to the username field in the new forum. This is easily changed upon request. This mismatch of names does not affect your ability to post. Once changed, the new name will show in all posts.
