Hi -- new to map editing and the forums. When I post, it uses my member-ID but I'd prefer if it used my nickname, for privacy purposes. Not a huge deal, and I understand why the forum might require my posts to use my member-ID, but thought I'd ask.

The Waze app "nickname" is not something the forum software supports. Also, users can share the same nickname, so on the forum, where we require unique values, that wouldn't work. Why not just create your Waze username to be what your nickname is?

That is true. You may not have visited the forum until recently, so your account may not reflect your join date, but if you don't have a lot of points to worry about, change your account's email address to something else (fake even), then create a new account from the app (requires your delete/install the app) with a different username and your desired email address.
