No it's definitely a change. I used to search for people always by name and now
I can't. I can't even tell who's stuff I'm looking at in the recent folders.
It's really tough to connect people to thier username too. The whole thing is
sort of confusing.
Is there some way I can modify my user name to reflect my real name?
