First thing:
We’re Live! Welcome back, everyone. Happy mapping!
Second thing:
I’ve noticed some of you have discovered that under the new rails port software from OSM, you’re able to change your username.
This is pretty cool, but there’s a problem: our territory assignment system is based on your username. Uh oh.
If you change your username without first letting us know, you might lose your territory. And if you let us know, we might not notice, because we are all very busy right now.
Recommendation: hold off on changing your username. And if if you have changed your username, change it back. For now.
In the long run, we will change our territory assignment system to be based on your user ID number, which is guaranteed to stay the same.
