I'm not altogether comfortable with the phrase "old members" .... but anyway:
Is this covered anywhere else? Some returning members (myself included) seem to have changed their usernames.
Could we just state the change plainly - here for example - to avoid confusion?
For example, on the old site, I was Rowdon.
I'm sure old members guessed from the avatar, but just in case.
Cheers.

Mine is just a simple kelp, exactly as it was on the old system, just plain old (easy to remember) kelp......Here's hoping that the new site takes off, and becomes well known. I do my best to promote it whenever talk of film comes up. All the best. G.....er.....kelp. Ha-ha.

I dropped the number. The problem with using anything but my first name is I forget it.

Nobody should get annoyed at it. There are more worthwhile things to get annoyed by

I enjoy a little "difference of opinion" now and again, but as you say, there are other things... like conTROVersy or controVERSy.

That's a surprise to me, Tonch, because during my time spent in England many years go, I only ever heard it pronounced "scoan"! In Australia we pronounce it "scon", however, there is a town called Scone on the New England Highway about 2 hours from my place and it is pronounced "scoan".

Originally posted by StoneAgeMan View PostI recently found my brother pronounces Nikon as though it rhymed with "light on".

Got to love the world and its ways.

Many years ago I had a Malaysian friend who made a point of correcting my pronunciation of tapir (the Malaysian animal) from "tay-peer" to, as she insisted it ought to be, "tap-ear".

I'm with you on that, Steve. After a couple of disparaging comments on the old forum, I considered using a nom d' Internet for the new version but feels counter intutative to be voicing opinions on other people's work from behind a pseudonym.
