Change your Username by yourself Inflate your Upload Space

if you want to change your username, you can now do it by yourself through a simple page!

notes:
- your whole profile will be kept. post count, personal info, everything
- your old posts will keep the old username
- others have tested it on other forums, but I have yet to test it here. it's not like I changed everything, the script is 100% the same that it's author provides
still, we need a brave man

To access this feature, click on "<a href=/cgi-bin/ubb/ubbmisc__action=editbio&Browser=&DaysPrune=1&LastLogin=>_profile<__a>_"_.html and then see the instructions

can I change it back later. I've had a few user names here. Note they aren't double logins, one was given a vacation, but I was too lazy to e mail ming to get him back.

Is there any way to combine them?

You know, with all the silly rules here that MarkG places on us for all the nutty reasons this is the LAST thing I would have thought he would do. Why?? Talk about people just getting stupid with a new little toy. It's like he just begs for problems.

However I find this feature very interesting. I have been thinking for some time to get back to my old CDB handle (a true "icon" on other forums, not on this one ) This gives me the chance to do it without losing my veteran status. Gotta think about it a bit more.

I suspect that this will lead to trouble - I just checked the profile for 'Mr. Demesos' and it simply told me that there is no such user (now). - Without some sort of audit trail all kinds of mayhem might ensue ...
Sounds fun though ELOL

MarkG... I've been thinking about this a lot since yesterday. While a 7 day limit is good, a month would be better. Actually, the longer the better.

While this action is being taken to allow the members more freedom in their handle, I'm sure "somebody" will abuse it. A month limit will make it easier to handle any problems, while still providing the freedom for people to change their handle.

Actually I just came to this forum to ask about this feature which I had never spotted at the top before. I am considering changing my username to something more exciting...but confuse everyone in the process But a month limit would be a good plan, as I am interested in a permanent name change. I will be the first to adopt a new name, I'll think about what I shall pick this afternoon.

I don't like it, now it will be even harder to tell when ppl change names, so the FAQ won't be updated accordingly

I would like to see it upped to a month or more, this should only be used for permanent changes.

Actually, you should make it at least 4 months... only then we can be sure it'll be for permanent changes only.

Tired of ads?

Great Idea!!! I like it a lot!

One question, though--could you set it so that there was some indication of who you were before you changed your name? What if (for the first month) right under your name, the words 'formarly <insert old handle here>' were listed? Might be difficult, but a great method of keeping track of who's who... I'm already confused.

1) the limit now between changes is 2 months. I think it's ok...

2) I've created a thread where the changes will be posted http://apolyton.net/forums/Forum20/HTML/000800.html

3) If someone totally changes his login(instead of correcting a spelling error or something like that), he can use the location field to put "Formerly known as XXX"(that is if he wants, he might not want to tell it to the world(it will be tracked though on the thread mentioned before))
