Why do we have to use Screen Name to login?

0

Hi Administrators

I was surprised today that I cannot login using my email as I usually did. I had requested temporary access several times because I thought something wrong with my password.

It turned out that I was wrong when using my email as the username. Using my Screen Name (the one I expected to serve only for displaying on the screen), I was able to login normally.

My questions:

  • Could we enable logging using just our emails?
  • Can we somehow update the login screen label to "Your Screen Name" instead of local user name? It's quite confusing because I don't know what my local user name is.

Thanks for your time

Not related to this question but also about usage of this forum:

  • How can i make a code block when i add comment to the question (easy to read code) ? randomly i have that feature once but don't now why i can make it.

  • How to mention a specific person in a post. i try with @ but it does not work. I also have some difficuties when make a new line here,...

It's better if you have guideline somewhere. Thanks

Hi @trungdv, You can use code block by indent it with 4 spaces each line.

public class Test {
    private final int number;
}

Thanks for the feedback.

  1. I have just updated the text on the login page, as suggested to ‘screen name’. Login with the email is not supported by OSQA.

  2. There is a question mark on the upper right corner of the question/answer text field. It links to the markdown syntax.

Basically our Q&A software is based on OSQA. There is no further development on the project. So in my opinion we could/should think about a replacement and send the OSQA to its deserved retirement – maybe next year... ;-)

Thank Flavio for the information. May be we can try out other open-source platform like Discourse (as we did with our https://discourse.axonivy.io).

Yes. Whats the scope of the https://discourse.axonivy.io? Would it make sense to merge these two? Means, importing the Q&A into the discourse..

Hi @Flavio Sadeghi: https://discourse.axonivy.io aims to provide a platform where Axon.ivy developers can discuss many things regarding software development. ivy is one of the most active category right now but not the only one. As of now, the members are mostly Vietnamese developers (it's been running internally for a while but only been online since this Nov).
