  It seems to me like almost all of the new members displayed in the WGT Players section have the same username format - first initial/last name it looks like... JSmith, RBrown, LPopodopolous, etc.

  Is this a coincidence, or did WGT start assigning usernames instead of allowing players to create their own?

  I saw that also , But if you click on that player and go to the profile you will see it is different .

  Lol, that's the same. Names on profiles are always written in all caps.

  None of this actually answers my question, but seriously OPY, I couldn't help but laugh at this. You're a funny guy.

  It's been like this since I joined, but I suspect it's been this way from the start. But in activities on one's profile the name is always written with the same letters as it was registered, same goes for one's friends list. I guess caps or no caps makes no difference, since the caps make no difference when you log in (unlike with gmail, etc.).

  We could get Icon to tell us why after clearing our browser , Or ask Yancy for his insight and whatnots.
