Help Please

[ReFlex]

Hello, I'm new to the computer, I always played on the console and bought minecraft and created an account here on Technic and when I went to edit the information a business called Minecraft IGN appeared and I would like to know what it is. Thanks to anyone who helps or tries. Follow the link with the photo showing what I'm talking about. link: https://prnt.sc/u5r96x

 

This is the image of the link, I was unable to attach when I created the topic

If you look at this recent post made by the Admin, you can see their ingame name under their avatar.

Why can't people just type in normally, without weird scrolling boxes or discolored text

The only reason to fill out that field is if you want to use your Minecraft avatar on the Platform. In which case you also have to click on the check box to enable it. Otherwise it will use whatever avatar you have associated with your Gravatar account. If you don't use your Minecraft avatar or don't have a Gravatar account, then you'll get a random avatar.

 

You can also associate your Minecraft username on the forums, but all it does is show it on your profile and on your posts(as Jaari linked to above). It does not change your avatar.
