Disappearing and reappearing real names

RPG Superstar 2010 Top 32 aka A Man In Black

So...what's up with that? I've seen my real name and my screen name alternating, with no particular pattern, and similar results from other qualifiers. Is it something toggleable in preferences or something?

-edit- Or is it something specific to the Superstar forums?

I assume that what you are seeing is that your real name is used if the thread is in the "RPG Superstar" forums, and your screen name is used elsewhere.

I thought that too, at first, but then I saw this thread had all screen names. Is it specific to the Superstar general forums?

I think it only applies to Superstar contestants and alumni.

From what I can see, that thread has screen names for anyone who hasn't been a contestant in the Superstar contest, but contestants (even those from previous years) have their names displayed first (like Zaister says).

Too weird, I see all screen names and no real names in that thread.

Earlier in the day, all the Superstar item threads were showing real names (with aka screen name in smaller type). I just went to A Man In Black's item thread (congrats on making the Top 32 by the way!) and all the Superstar names show as screen names, not real names.

Weird, I just visited the same thread, and I saw real names there all over.

Hmmm ... the loss of real names seems to be happening in all the item threads for me now.

Good thing some of us don't have that problem then ;-)

There's a couple cases where we're not display real names for contestants in the RPG Superstar forums, but that should be fixed later today or tomorrow.
