Re: Username change requests
God, not more changes. Can people please THINK before changing, as it confuses the hell out of people who can only visit on occasion, like myself.

Re: Username change requests
Well, all users who change nickname are required to include their old nickname in their signature for a period of at least a month or so. Also, they're all recorded in That Place Wot Should Not Be Named, as you know.Raichase wrote:God, not more changes.

Some forums allow different username and nickname.Purno wrote:Can people please THINK before registering
The text at the 'Register' page doesn't say at all that you will have to use your username as your nickname.
Code: Select all
Username:
Length must be between 3 and 20 characters.
Re: Username change requests
phpBB 3 allows that, but it's not enabled on these forums.
Re: Username change requests
Could you drop the capital from my name please, I am merely "m4rek"
Re: Username change requests
Thankfully it isn't. Otherwise we'd have people changing their names frequently, and we'd have a lot of "Huh? Who are you?" and "Oh, it's you." moments.B. N. SmatZ! wrote: I thought I will be able to change my nickname after registering, but it isn't possible...

Yes, that's enabled on another forum I browse and there are a lot of 'Huh?' moments.Purno wrote:Thankfully it isn't.

Uhh, perhaps when orudge gets a chance. I don't know about some people here, but forum staff have their own lives to lead too...Desolator wrote:OK, so when are our usernames gonna be changed?

Re: Username change requests
In general, you do have a point, however, it's been 2 weeks after the previous post and changing usernames isn't a very big job. I think he's right asking the progress politely, as he did.Raichase wrote:Uhh, perhaps when orudge gets a chance.

Re: Username change requests
Perhaps not quite as polite as he might have meant, i realise English probably isnt his native language, but for those of us for whom it is, it does come over slightly arrogant and demanding.Purno wrote:In general, you do have a point, however, it's been 2 weeks after the previous post and changing usernames isn't a very big job.

Besides, as Rai pointed out, people do have real lives to live as well as being online, managing a community such as this one is surely quite a job, he is as entitled as anyone if not more so to continue to lead his life when he wishes to

Re: Username change requests
Thankyou. Most forums don't grant such a change en masse, and so often as orudge does, so a bit of patience never hurt, did it? .spaceman-spiff wrote:Owen is very busy, good for him, but tell me, why is this username change SO important that it can't wait a few weeks ....
You lot have had your names for so long now, another week or two won't hurt

Re: Username change requests
Besides the old names are still recognised so it isn't really important either, it's the post you make that is important.

Re: Username change requests
Apologies for the lack of progress here, whenever I've meant to do it, I've been distracted by something else. Hopefully I'll get ten minutes over the next week or so where I can get this sorted.
Re: Username change requests
If possible, could I please have my name changed to 'Mr Pattle' - I'm fed up with this stupid fake name, and I don't know why I used it in the first place.
