OFFLINE

Is there a way to change the User name? Or does this HAVE to be linked directly to someone's FB account.
For privacy reasons, I would like the option of choosing a name and not have it liked to my personal information on FB. And for this group forum, I think privacy is essential.
The "Profile" does not give much in the way of choices either. Such things as providing region and age group and status are also important. But I'm not able to find a way to incorporate any of these things or make any changes.
