When becoming a new member, the format asked me for a display Nickname BUT my first post shows my actual full name as the post host.  So, how do I set my account to show my Nickname and not my full name?  I do not see anything regarding this in my account profile to fulfill this request.  Thanks

You should be able to change that in your account settings. Click the My Profile/Account button at the top of the page or click the down arrow/gear icon below your name to the left of your post. You should be able to set your Display Name there.

Hi Gary

Just to add a little to Tiny's excellent answer...

I have no idea what the "Nickname" is for, or where it even shows up in posts.

But, in case you are interested, anything you enter in the "Signature" area of your profile will show up in small letters at the bottom of every post you make
