Can we get consistent names we actually use to appear in the people tab, "people here" tab and thread views?

Because it's kind of weird when some alt name you used for a joke post comes up out of nowhere despite only using it like one time.

I think the People tab is largely IP-based. So if your joke name is associated with a proxy, anyone else using that proxy is going to show up as the joke name unless they log in as someone else.

It probably shouldn't list people who aren't logged in because of this kind of situation.

The people tab shows it with my default ip when I'm signed out of my account. But even when I'm signed in it can still be seen in the "people here" tab.

#58

I would suspect Gtx0 assigned #58 as the 'first' user for that IP address. Then when you log in to your account, it overrides the IP and lists your account. Does that seem to be the case?

If so, Xhin will have to do some database work to fix it.

That seems like the case for the people tab but like I said even when I'm signed in I still can see the name from the "people here" tab which shows who is checking what forum but I guess that goes by the ip too? But ya whatever fixes it I guess.

Should just do what other sites do. Show list of registered users and just say "and 10 guests" or whatever number.

Ya I was pretending to be a communist tankie because it was the reverse of #85's name before the election started or something. Was pretty funny but mods didn't like it I guess.
