Why is my Kuler name part of my e-mail address?

Jan 5, 2011 8:09 AM

I'm new to Kuler just today and, while I love it, it's the only place on the entire internet that seems to publicly display the first half of my email address as my screen name. I've got a separate and different screen name to my email address, but this doesn't show once I login. It works in the Acrobat site, but not on Kuler. Please help! Thanks...

    Sticky Penguin:

     

    I'm not sure why Kuler uses part of your e-mail address as its display name, and I agree it would make more sense to use a designated screen name.

     

    I have sent your feedback onto the Kuler team.

     

    (In the future, please start your own thread to ensure we don't overlook your responses.)

     

     

    Thanks!

    Hi freetomatoes:

     

    I can request that your Kuler screen name is changed to a name of your chosing. Check the PM I sent you for details.

    This is a long standing problem:  Unlike all other Adobe Websites, Kuler does not pull the user's Adobe ID screen name, but uses the the email address (up to the @).   If your email address uses your real name that is displayed, violating your privacy and Adobe's Privacy Policy.   All my Kuler palettes publically display "by [Real Name]", not "by TG_SF," my Adobe ID screen name.   Logging out, deleting cookies and logging in do NOT help.  For years, the Kuler forums are full of pleas to Adobe to fix this privacy bug, but they don't.  Someone, please wake them up!  Thank you.

    Would be nice to see this change, I figured changing it on adobe.com would include my kuler name as well. It didn't and honestly I find it kind of an uncomfortable feeling.

    How can I do the same thing (change Kuler display name to Adobe ID screenname)?

    How can this not have been changed yet?

    I went ahead and deleted the themes I had just created. This can't really happen in 2012.
