In reply to: InsightfulChuck posted an update Hi everyone, I just joined the site. Could someone tell me – what is the difference between my display name InsightfulChuck and this @chuckb thing that it lists on my profile? View
It’s used when mentioning a certain user, so that they can see that they’ve been mentioned. chuckb is your username, so if you add @ to the beginning; @chuckb , it’ll show up in your “Mentions” section on your page.

Thanks Hayden! I’m perplexed about the necessity of displaying both – seems a bit confusing – I guess when I signed up I thought my username was just for login purposes and only my display name would be shown.

Hey everyone, my name's Charles but you can call me Chuck. I came across this site once when I was feeling helpless, but I found that by being a listener, it made me feel better so I decided to join. I'm in my early 30's and am a compassionate listener who will let you be in charge. If you just want me to listen and talk, I'll do that. If you want advice or strategy, I'll give you that. My goal is to console and empower and not to push or scold. I have experience in talking about love and relationships, childhood trauma and abuse, depression, self-defeating behaviors, and addiction. Whether your problem is short- or long-term, I believe that everyone is capable of change, but that change comes from within, and with a little outside help, it comes about quicker and more fruitfully. I talk just as easily to men as to women, but I feel I can be most helpful to those younger than me as I've probably gone through your experience.
That’s your actual username. Most people will see ”InsightfulChuck” unless they are mentioning you in a comment or post, or if they view your profile.
