Why does my name appear instead of my username?

I'm so exited about this! I registered (again) with the forum... Checked my privacy settings and all of a sudden my name is visible to everyone! Apple??? What's going on?

Is your name iCat?

That's all I can see.

Is there that right? Cause I see my name instead of my username.

It's a little freaky, but I guess only the user sees their own name. This should be more clearly identified, though. The boxes should say "Public name" and "Real name" to make it clearer.


Edit: The privacy settings section makes it clearer. Have a look there.

Totally agree. Not that I have anything to hide. But it is s bit pointless to ask for username and then see your own name appearing. Bad design??? No never by Apple...
