My Account : What is the difference between my Screen Name and my About.com Member Name? (FAQs)

Now that Calorie Count is a part of About.com Health, we've merged with About.com's membership system. This enables About.com and Calorie Count members to easily enjoy the community features on both sites and frees us up to spend our development time creating new dieting features, such as the Groups feature.

How do my About.com Member Name and Calorie Count Screen Name differ?

• Screen Name
  
  Your Screen Name on Calorie Count is used to identify you and will appear alongside the content you post on your public profile, public forums, the journal and recipe sections, and so on. Once you have migrated your account from Calorie-Count.com to caloriecount.about.com, this same Screen Name will be available to you on both of these platforms.


• About.com Member Name
  
  In order to participate using your Calorie Count Screen Name, you'll first have to log in with your About.com Member Name. You can also use your About.com Member Name to participate in the community offerings on About.com.
