Signing-in to PF changes the "log-in" to "USER"

[symbolipoint]

This I now notice only today, or this evening. The physics forums pages show "Log In" button in the top row of links, and then upon signing in, the link changes to say "USER". It had until now, changed to say "PF"; this is not any sort of complaint. This is just something I notice.

I had some feedback that "MY PF" was not understood.

Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. But is "first to complain privately to Greg" really the basis we want to use to make interface decisions?

Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. I could also change it to "Account" but went with something shorter. Still can change. fyi, it has nothing to do with MHB.

Who said it did? You are the first person to bring it up.

BTW, I am going to PM you with a bunch of suggested interface changes. Just wait until you see my color scheme!

I seriously welcome all suggestions

Could swear @symbolipoint did actually, but apparently not. Maybe there was an edit. Or maybe I was hallucinating earlier.

Someone self deleted a post, but no need to dwell on it

Or now. How does one tell the difference?

Local density of pink elephants.

Fun fact: the OED used to have an incorrect first use of "pink elephants". I wrote them, and they corrected it. I was hoping that they'd send me a free copy as a token of their gratitude. No such luck.

I posted my observation yesterday. I did not delete any posting on this.

 

[symbolipoint]

My post on this as o.p. was not a complaint. The use of "USER" is better than just "PF".

I wonder if I am slightly dyslexic. I keep having to look twice to not see it this way:

Algr, those or that looks like image based on screenshot or snipped screen portion, and not a difference based on what you believe you see. One would wonder, what more did you click on to show the ">> HOT THREADS" thing.

As I look again on the main PF page while signed in, I see a right-side panel with "Recent Insights", and below this is "HOT THREADS". Therefore, I believe you are seeing exactly what is actually displayed. Also those same things are shown in the right-side panel on main page while not signed in.

Looks like image manipulation in this case, but you can also change it in your browser.

@mfb,
I just needed more time to look at the page carefully before I gave my response.

I did the same after reading a post regarding protection from radiation following a nuclear incident.
I need to stop doing that.
