New Members with Numbers for Screen Names

Hi everyone... Just wondering why there are so  many new members with numbers for screen names instead of names, like we normally see.  It's kind of hard to keep up with such long numbers like that, let alone identify with them.  I'm seeing a lot of it in the Weight Loss & Dieting Community, particularly.  Does that have something to do with the mobile app?  

Thanks and hope everyone had a Merry Christmas.

Thank you Claire; just curious... feels something like a prison, where everyone sports a number instead of a name... LOL  

Hope they get it fixed soon.  I can remember names, and know if someone is a repeat poster, but there's no way I can remember those numbers and tell if I've talked to someone before or not.  :-)

Hi, Barb,

Yes, that seems to be the problem.  Our engineers are aware of the problem and are working on it.  We hope to have it resolved soon!
