Hi everybody.

Hi

I've been mapping and editing with JOSM for a few months now, but only recently 
noticed the option to view authors.  I notice that everything that I have 
edited in the past is shown as the work of an anonymous user.  How do I set 
JOSM to show my future work as my own?  Is there any way to make the changes I 
did in the past show as mine?


The options is in your account page, go to this URL inserting your display name 
in the right place (your display name is not the same as your email address):

http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/
<displayname>/account

I think there's a button at the bottom saying "Make my edits public forever!" 
or words to that effect, click that and everybody will know what you've done, 
this will also work retroactively so will start displaying your username for 
old stuff as well.

John
