Weird! I haven't gotten this. Is it something you can opt out of?

Nope! It's infuriating! Kind of like when my profile got switched to Timeline and I spent a good 2 hours deleting my life from junior year of college - 25 yrs old b/c my mother, mother-in-law, and husband did not need to see pictures of me getting shots sucked out of my belly button on top of frat house bartops... lol

UGH...stupid FB

You cant opt out BUT you can set your username; it does not have to be your 'real name'. All that they are doing is phasing out the old # ids.

Yup! They are only making those of us who never picked a username change them. I liked being a random number There is someone out there with the same name as me (first & last) and she laid claim to pretty much everything in cyberspace that uses our name as a username.
