So I noticed that everyone is currently identified by their email address. On one hand, it make sense that it is easy and simple to register, and helps keep things relatively straightforward. However, I can't help but feel like there should be usernames available as an option. Perhaps someone could register themselves as a specific username after signing up, and that username is only used in the forum. That way, one can have a more intuitive method of identifying them (especially for those with moderately gibberish names).

Feature Requests: Usernames
Hello! Glad to see that there is a forum here, it is something I don't see often enough

Thanks a lot for all your intervention in this forum it really helps!!
