Every Launchpad page currently begins with "Logged in as..." followed by your full name. This presentation is helpful if you are using a shared computer, so you can distinguish your account from those of other people. But if you have multiple Launchpad accounts yourself (whether by accident or design), they likely all have the same full name, so it's not easy to distinguish them.
Other popular Web application suites (e.g. Google, Yahoo, YouTube) use your unique ID to show who you are logged in as, even when they know your full name. Perhaps we should do this too.
<Straphka> you can delete branches, did it a few days ago actually, but now I do not have the option
<gnomefreak> Straphka: if your not the author you cant
<gnomefreak> unless you have upload rights
<Straphka> but I am
...
<Straphka> I created it, and it says: You cannot upload to this branch. Only Straphka can upload to this branch.
<spiv> The "straphka" user is indeed the owner of that branch.
<Straphka> but I *am* straphka
...
<gnomefreak> Straphka: are you signed into LP
<Straphka> yeah
...
<Straphka> I can do other things
<Straphka> it's just like the username is correct, only I have a different id or something
...
<Straphka> even if I would be able to unregister it I would be a happy man
<Straphka> I can branch another one, but I am afraid that when I do that, I end up with another branch without an owner
<spiv> Straphka: what does it say on the top right of the page, next to "Logged in as:"?
<Straphka> spiv: Straphka
<spiv> Straphka: and where does it link to?
<Straphka> spiv: https://code.launchpad.net/~yoram-hekma-gmail
<Straphka> which is me
<spiv> And to be clear, what's the URL of the branch you're looking at?
<Straphka> spiv: https://code.launchpad.net/~straphka/babyweb/dev-feeds
<spiv> Ah, well that explains that :)
<Straphka> it does?
<spiv> "straphka" is a different use to "yoram-hekma-gmail" :)
<Straphka> uhm
<spiv> *user*
<Straphka> I thought it was just my display name
<Straphka> hum, that would be pretty embarrasing
<Straphka> :)\
<Straphka> but why does it say that I am logged in as straphka then?
<spiv> If those are both you, you probably want to merge those accounts (https://launchpad.net/people/+requestmerge) to avoid more confusion :)
<Straphka> ah
<spiv> The user with id "yoram-hekma-gmail" has a display name of "Straphka"
<spiv> E.g. see https://launchpad.net/~yoram-hekma-gmail
<Straphka> ok, that would explain it
