Username Changes

[Immortal]

Members can now change their own username Edit Profile Settings page.

Members are limited to one change every 21 days and a list of previous usernames will be kept in each members profile that all members can see to avoid confusion.

If you are not happy with the change, you can revert back to your previous name.

Members can now change their own username by clicking the pencil icon next to their name in their profile.

So if you change your username to “unbanned” can I take your old username? Or do members keep some sort of exclusive rights to their old usernames ��

Ooooh question? If I was to change my name Kool81 to match my YouTube name WizzattzProductions everything that has been tagged under [MENTION=16672]kool81 would remain the same I would assume. So if people still tag me as [MENTION=16672]kool81 until they get used to referring to me under the tag @wizzattzproductions would I receive those notifications?

All old tagged posts with your current name would still link to u since the mention tag contains the member id. But any new posts with ur old name AFTER a name change will not link to u
A tip tho, keep your name short so people can tag u quicker. Drop productions

Maybe in the future I might change it, but for now and for a while I'ma just keep it the same Kool81 lol. This is interesting to know tho.

Do you really think that's a good idea lol

My personal feedback would be: not crazy about this. I believe a name should follow you. This is like making it easier for the scammers and other people with ill intent, imo. I don't see why anybody needs to keep changing names, and I bet it will lead to people interacting with people they know without knowing they know them. Personally, I liked it when news papers required you to link your FB profile before commenting on articles. This is a huge step backwardsand I fail to see the real benefit. If you're 15, insecure and have ADD then this is probably cool. But for accountability this just seems like a loss. Oh well, there I said it. Not a huge deal, but if pushed for a quote, this is what I would say.

Who pushed for this change, or where is this coming from? Maybe it solves problems I'm unaware of.

100% agree. They should have 'formally known as...' under the new name if they decide to keep switching names. Horrible idea.

This is a cool upgrade
