App suggestion - user names

I only use iOS app so not sure how it works on desktop.

However if using more than one username, is it possible to have them in a list in profile settings so it's easy to switch between them? Otherwise I have to free type the names and remember what I've used! And I only have two I think!

Hi @Fuller2018,

Thanks for this suggestion - it would certainly make life easier!

PanPanPanPing has explained how things work on the desktop site, (thanks as ever, PPPP!), and that's pretty much how it works on the App too. It is all a bit of a faff, admittedly, so I'm going to ask the Tech team if there are any plans to streamline the process at all.

As you say, a drop-down list would be marvellous. And would have the added bonus of saving MNHQ a load of work when people inadvertently key in a slightly different username, meaning if they're the OP of a thread, none of their subsequent posts get highlighted.

Will be back shortly...

@PanPanPanPing

Oooh - a drop down list would be useful on the desktop site too, Dawn!

I think the Tech team will say 'DREAM ON'!

But it never hurts to ask. Grin

Hey guys, thanks for raising this!

It's a valid point, picking a previous username is made quite complex. We've previously avoided doing it because of privacy concerns some users have had, but I think there's a chance we could include this in future versions.

Would you like it just in the 'my account' place, or in the composer too?
