        I was just kind of wondering because on the old forum I was Arthur and I had the screen name ShyNudeDude83  but on the new site it said that you had to use patreon in order to login. I had never had that before so then when I went to try and login here and asked me if I wanted to access patreon using my Google account which it does when I joined most new things that I haven’t been a part of, so I just said yes and now when I posted sort of has my identity as Jill because on Google I use my female pseudonym. Again I have no problem with that, I don’t mind being Jill, it’s just on the old website I was Arthur and I had like a screen name whereas now it seems like everybody’s screen name is just whatever they use on patreon or Google so I can see how that could be confusing to some people and I was just wondering about that.

          I use a separate patreon to my normal one. Trying to keep this aspect of my life away from the norm. I’m not ashamed of it just don’t want to have all the awkward conversations and looks everytime someone looks at me. I can have whatever image and name I like on patreon then. This is my real name and the photo is of me out on one of my “normal” weekend walks.

          Once the account is created can you not update your profile here to change the name?

            You should still be able to edit your NE account from your profile page. You can’t change your username but you should be able to alter your screen name.

            Only having one login system avoids a great deal of confusion, stops users being required to merge two separate accounts into one and completely solves our spammer problem.

            The old site had been running on just Patreon signups for nearly a year before I opened this new one.

              Thanks, I changed my username to Arthur, although presumably that shouldn’t change my Google name just my name on this board. It gets kind of confusing because I have two pseudonyms, one is Arthur, one is Jill, neither of which is my real name, and even my Arthur blog where I write my embarrassing nudity stories, is registered under my Google account which is for Jill, so sometimes it does get kind of confusing where I have to remember who am I where. It got kind of awkward once when my family was helping me to like use my phone or set up my phone, and when it saw that it was linked to my Google account they were like who is Jill, so it gets kind of weird sometimes!

                  I was surprised (unconcerned, not bovvered, just surprised) that our patreon account names appear on the page. I know what you mean about getting usernames mixed up between sites though 😁
