It looks like the latest Google glitch is that everybody's handle is "RBW Owners Bunch", at least on my browser.  It seems to be happening partially on iBob also.  How do you like your new username?

This has been driving me bananas.

I'm glad it's not just me. I thought I'd inadvertently change a setting. It seems really goofy. Is this a Google thing or can it be changed back? Prefer the old way.

It seems to go back and forth. At some point I was able to see real user names here but now its back to the generic RBW

This is the first I'm hearing of this problem, which I have seen neither here nor on iBOB (nor on any of the other Google Groups I check in to regularly: CR, 650B, Bicycle Lifestyle, a couple of non-bikey groups).

The issue may be specific to particular OSes/browsers/browser versions, so just saying "I have/don't have the problem" really doesn't narrow things down much. If you're trying to communally troubleshoot this, it would probably be useful for the expansion of collective knowingness to post:

1) Your viewing platform (computer/smartphone/tablet make/model/OS)

2) Browser or email client?

3) Browser/email client make/model/version (e.g., Firefox 115.2.1)

So to kick it off: 2015 MacBook Pro macOS 10.14.6/Safari 14.1.2

I wasn't trying to communally debug.  I was just seeing if it was just me, and letting others it's not just them.  

For me, the issue has gone away.  For roughly an hour today, "everybody's" handle was "RBW Owners Group" on the RBW Owners Group.  Everybody's handle on the 650B Group was "650B".  About a third of the users on internet-bob had the username "internet-bob".  It appears to have cleared up.  I'm on a MacBook Air (OS Ventura 13.5.2), and Safari is my browser.

Same here, reading in Gmail in Firefox on Mac OS. Bill was "RBW Owners Bunch" in the original post here, as was everyone else on all my Google groups (with their respective names) until about 11:20am Mountain time today. Back to normal now. Obviously since they're emails for me the previously sent messages with the bug are still showing up as such, but no new ones are as far as I can tell.

Back to normal now, but I was seeing the glitch for a few hours. I'm using Gmail with Firefox on the latest Mac OS. Same as Josiah, some names are showing up as "RBW Owners Bunch" but only from the time when it was being buggy.
