My username has been changed (not by me) twice.
As I mentioned in a previous post, my original username (DropBoxDude) was changed (not by me) to "DragonDude". All the emails re: badges sent to me were for "DragonDude. I logged in to my account and changed it back to the only username I have ever had (DropBoxDude). And it then showed the correct username in my profile. Then a little later, I noticed that it had again been changed (This time to DDude)
This is a different issue than the badges issue so many are having. Why is this happening?
And regarding the name change -- I received no emails regarding the name changes made to my account, but this is actually something it would be good to be notified about.
It's happening because a moderator or admin is manually changing your username to remove Dropbox from the name. Avoid using Dropbox and you likely won't have a problem.
I've changed it back to DDude. You're free to change it again, but please avoid using Dropbox in the name or it will again be removed.
Thanks for letting me know. Although it would have been better if you or someone had explained this to me earlier, when my name was originally changed.
