raccoon · February 9, 2018, 1:55am

I'm thinking it's moderator007.

Who else could call themself that?

MRsDNF · February 9, 2018, 1:56am

So we are looking for a happy Chinese person.

The downside of electronic communication… I can’t tell if you’re kidding or not! Given the length of time you’ve been around, I’m guessing you’re kidding. If not, it’s sometime that has commented in this thread and his user id number just happens to be #1.

Or someone with a fondness for a certain “herb”

I’m not the admin… lol. A side note it’s time to go home. :sunglasses:

Nope not me, I brought that name over from CPF years ago. Didn’t see any need in changing it.

How the heck can you tell someone’s user id number?

don’t see that anywhere.

raccoon · February 9, 2018, 4:40am

Hover your mouse over a member's user name.

For you, I see "budgetlightforum.com/user/2514"

You are member #2514.

Click/tap on their username to pull up their BLF profile. Note the number in your address bar.

Sorry, I’m a nerd. Computer Science major for my BS (masters was MBA). And I work on systems & data for a living. I pick up on weird crap like that.

Every profile is really just an ID number. The username is for convenience sake.

Haaaaaaaaaaaaa!

moderator007 · February 9, 2018, 4:45am

Don’t delete your post SB or I’ll look stupid

clemence · February 9, 2018, 5:08am

So, it’s confirmed that there’s no way to change your user ID unless the moderator wants it.
SB, can I have mine in color?

- Clemence

beam0 · February 9, 2018, 8:39am

When I do that I only see “View user profile” (Firefox)

beam0 · February 9, 2018, 8:42am

Cool, thanks! I’ve noticed that when on my account page but never knew what that number was

beam0 · February 9, 2018, 8:43am

Gotta wonder who is user #2

raccoon · February 9, 2018, 8:50am

Look in the bottom left corner of your web browser.

raccoon · February 9, 2018, 8:51am

I get a "Page not found" error for user #2.

User #3 is administrator, one of sb's accounts.

everydaysurvivalgear · February 9, 2018, 8:53am

Mine is to damn long it always interferes with my comments lol.

beam0 · February 9, 2018, 9:00am

Ahh yes that works, wow you’re #251!

raccoon · February 9, 2018, 9:09am

Yeah, there aren't that many active BLF members from year one (2010).

I don't buy flashlights that often, but I do enjoy me some forum.
