Sorry for the delayed response on this.

 

Yes, this is due to single sign on. Our system pulls your name from your Microsoft ID. So if you want your name to show up differently, you'd have to change it there.

    I have here "Petr Vlk" correctly. Yesterday I changed back this also on Tech Comms to a real name and today TBD TBD is back... :-(

      Sorry if I wasn't clear. The place to change your name is at account.microsoft.com. Tech Community pulls in that information directly from your Microsoft account.

        Yes, I understand that. If TechComms load this from Microsoft Account it should not be an editable field here.

         

        But, anyway. On Microsoft Account I have the name also correctly set. I will try to destroy my SSO cookie or rename account, maybe something is broken between.

         

         

        And thanks for the response.
