Is this a new feature? or have I just noticed it? I do try to keep certain user names for different topics - having switched user name recently I was surprised to see the "default" in one thread was the name I had switched from - checking "threads I'm on" confirmed that the default in those threads is the username I first used in them. Brilliant IMO! prevents accidentally sock puppetry - particularly on threads where I don't remember having commented in the first place!

Now can we just have a feature that brings us back to the point in the thread where we last commented.... the number of times I forget to bookmark......🤷🏼‍♀️

Yes it was rolled out a few weeks ago.

LOL - well I have no idea how I missed it as I'm on this bloody site every day - must have been on a loo break 🤣

I've also rediscovered a user name I forgot I had, so Win:Win 😄

Ah - it's not rolled out in the mobile apps - which is what I'm usually on - so that's why I've just spotted it as on the laptop today! feeling a bit less clueless 😃

Glad that's been cleared up @EmotionalSupportWyrm!
