I received feedback from one of our forum users that she was confused about whether or not she was logged in properly because when she clicked on the avatar:

- as a new user, the automatically assigned “M” didn’t mean anything to her
- the username preceding the “Welcome to Collab Discuss!” made her think that it was part of a sentence welcoming that user - a user which is clearly not her account

These aspects combined caused her to reach out to support to clarify that she was logged in properly to the site.

What does the Discourse team think about including the user’s full name in the window to help avoid such confusion?
