I see this again and again - people changing their username slightly so that they can post on a public forum such as the Battlefield. It's really simple, folks - just LOG ON before you post if you want to use your regular username. Then you can post on that public forum under your username just like you do on a protected forum. Your username shows, you get another tick mark towards your total posts, and people can rate you and stuff.

If you've filled out a reply and realize you're not logged on, you could always copy it then log on and paste it into a new reply. You only need to log out to post on the battlefield, on the bug forum, or on the contest forum if you want to post under a different name than your regular username.
