What's the difference

Unknown

This is probably a dumb question, but, what's the difference between having a account or having a profile. Also on the account page what's the difference between a handle and a username, looks like a lot of the bugs are being worked out so I thought I would try to register now. Thanks.

Your username is what you log on with. My user name is "thenakedwhiz". Your handle is what shows up as your name when you post. My handle is "The Naked Whiz".

A handle is what everyone sees as your name when posting.

A user name is what you use to login.

Think of MSN messenger. You login with your email address, but you can change the name that everyone sees.

How this helps.

Whiz,

You might want to change this post or your user name.

You do not want to give out your user name, as it is another bit of security.

If someone has to figure out both your user name and password, it makes it harder to get into your account.

My 2 cents.

TNW,

Thanks for the assist. I tried to bump your karma up but had an issue... well get on the karma thing as time permits... i like it... the Lama's been lurking and says he likes it too, like that's a surprise.

I wonder if having permanent karma of 0 might be good thing, lol!
