Well I sure wish I had a cool name like Rod Knox but unfortunately I have yet to figure out how to change “user 1248539” to something a little more descriptive and personal…any help would be greatly appreciated … Thanx. ---

> [@ellukay\_143802](#): > > Well I sure wish I had a cool name like Rod Knox That’s not his real name. We all use an alias, except maybe a few brave folks. Yeah I agree about just being a number. Maybe you could get it changed to “badge1248539” and people might give you some respect. ---
