I’m John P. Clark and that was my post… Don’t know why my name
wasn’t posted. It said “updating name” whatever that means. EDIT: Now
I see that my name has been updated. Geez.
John, the “updating name” bug is one of the long-standing glitches in the Wolfram Community Forums software. I see a forum discussion dated >9 years ago where the bug was reported. In that case, the moderation team manually patched the particular message. I presume a formal bug report was filed. It’s a jarring bug. FWIW, I looked up your original message and it’s still showing up as “Updating name” for me. The intractability of this bug is a mystery.
FWIW, there’s a separate discussion launched by @Tingting Zhao discussing the community forums themselves. Anyone interested in the topic should jump over to that discussion.
