Help! It looks like everyone can see my full name.

The default setting in our forums is that you are able to see your full name, but your fellow forum users can only see your screen name. However, this causes some confusion as it appears that others can see your full name. Don't worry- they cannot! [Note: Employee Admins are an exception to this and can see your name].

 

To confirm this:

  • Click on your profile picture (avatar) at the top right
  • Edit Communities Profile
  • Privacy
  • Confirm that your Name is only visible to "Yourself"
  • You can also sign out and type in your profile URL to see that you're only able to view your screen name.

How do I attach a screenshot?

Windows Vista and later

  • Use the Windows Snipping Tool to take a snapshot of the area you want to capture.  See Use Snipping Tool for instructions.  Save the result as a JPG or PNG file.

 

Windows XP and earlier

  • Use the Print Screen button on the keyboard to capture the entire desktop, then use a imaging program like MS Paint, Paint.NET, or similar to paste the captured image.  Some programs can crop the area you want to show, so you do not need to post the entire desktop.  Save the result as a JPG or PNG file.
  • More detailed instructions for Windows XP
  • Alternate screenshot tool: Jing (free download)

 

Mac OS

  • Shift + Command + 4
  • Drag the cursor to where you'd like to start one of the corners of the screenshot and press down and drag the mouse over the area you'd like to capture.
  • Release your mouse
  • The screenshot will be saved on your Desktop

 

  • To post the saved screenshot you need to be in the forum editor; either as a new topic, or as a reply in a topic requesting a screenshot.
