Ok. Now I see this thread : Real name instead of Screen name displayed

But... What a mess is these Adobe forums... And let me add, if not already done by other users, that seeing my real name is not showing the reality.... It should not be that way.  I should see my screen name. There should not be any discussion about it.

The fact to see your real name is correct in terms of the privacy choice you have made - it's set to "You" and you are... you! Exactly the same as stuff on Facebook set to "only me".

Sorry but no, you're wrong. Taking example on Facebook in terms of privacy is really not a good choice ! But still, there is no screen name on Facebook, and all the content that I share with other people is indicated with an icon, so I know what I share and how.

Here, there is absolutely no indication that the other people see my screen name. It appears like a bug as we specify in settings that our screen name must appear instead of our name. And as you see in the other thread, I'm not the only one to have this problem... It is very difficult to understand why I see my name while seeing the screen names of others.

So either you show the screen name for those who want to, or you put an indication that our name is not visible to everybody every time the name appear.
