Hi,
When creating my account at forum.archte.ch
I had no idea what the Handle input field is, so I entered PHP as I'm a PHP developer who handles PHP code!
now the forum shows @PHP instead of my name @ismaail
and I can't change it in the Profile Edit Page.
is there a way to change it to my name. thank you.

Clarified what the Handle input means on the registration page and added the option to change the handle. Just visit your profile page 👍

it worked, thanks.

Well...I need to say that "php" is an awesome nickname :D
By @ismaail · 2021-08-31 23:35
yes.
but I thinks some names (like: @php, @laravel, @symfony, ...etc) should be reserved.
By @samuel · 2021-08-31 23:53
Yeah I'll add a list of reserved ones later, for now I'll just contact the users or change the nicks manually

I'm not an expert at English so even I had some difficulties trying to understand what "handle" stood for. Fortunately, I found this answer that helped me fill in the field: https://english.stackexchange.com/a/369943 However, I think it should be renamed to something like "Nickname" or such, to avoid other people make the same mistake
By @samuel · 2021-08-31 23:27
Clarified that in the form 👍
By @ismaail · 2021-09-01 00:35
the name should also be clarified in the Edit Profile form.
By @ismaail · 2021-08-31 23:32
thanks,
more clear field name: Handle (shown @username)
